Please keep in mind that tomorrow is an outdoor trip, so be sure to dress for comfort of walking and layers for the weather.  Please wear shoes that would be comfortable for waling outdoors.

Today we learned about some creatures that we will see on our trip tomorrow.  We discussed squirrels, skunks, and wolves.  We read fiction and non-fiction texts about these mammals.

We also took our Unit 6 Spelling Test today, due to the field trip tomorrow.  

Students are encouraged to wear pink tomorrow for Lee Denim Day, Cancer Awareness.
