Arbor Day and our walking field trip to South Hazel Street is fast approaching. Permission slips will go home this week for our tree planting project on April 30th. Parents are welcome to join us for the trip, although our 5th grade students are being paired with high school mentors from Crater, so they will be little for us adults to do but take pictures and enjoy watching the hard work of the kids.

Room 15 kids will also be reading their DARE essays in class. Two students will be selected to give a speech at the DARE graduation later this year. If you haven’t yet stopped in to see our red ribbon, please do.

In history this week we’re looking at Native Americans during the time of western expansion. The stories of Captain Jack, Sitting Bull, and Chief Joseph will be the focus.

We’re also finishing up our current Book Clubs, starting our Nutrition unit with Mrs. Odell, and much more. Another busy week in Room 15.
