Wow, it's hard to believe it is already May!   Today we had a very special guest come to visit us, Pinocchio came to share the mystery of what made his nose grow!  Ask your child what they learned. We were all so curious Mrs. Roberts sent them an email and they agreed to share their secret with us. 

I think we all realize now how important it is to ask questions!

Scientist of the day - starts next Monday - hopefully all of you got this handout last week and that your child's date works.  If not please let me know asap.  I have also posted the list of all the dates on our classroom window.  We have not set a specific time each day that we will doing these science projects but if you wanted to be there when your child presents please let me know and we will arrange the time.
