2-28-13 Daily Update

Parents, 

Water.  In Science today we had a great discussion about water ethics.  If you want a fun conversation with your child at dinner, ask them their thoughts about who owns the water.  For example, who should have the rights to use the water in Lake Erie?  Should we be able to sell water in other.

Tall Tale skits.  We will be performing these tomorrow for the third graders.  Have your child bring in any costumes or props that would add to the skit.  I recorded 2 of the 3 skits today and will post them on the class blog tonight if I have time and if my technology cooperates. :0)

Reminders:
  • We could use snack or mint donations
  • rescheduled February Movie Night is tomorrow
  • Tuesday, March 5 is Teacher Inservice Day (No school)
  • "Like" the WPC on Facebook to get up to date on Parents Club events
