April 5

Today in inquiry we began exploring present day skunks solutions. Ask me about the solution that I think was the best and why. During writing we began exploring list poems. We made a list poem for Spring. Ask me what a list poem is and then we can choose a word together and make a list poem for the word. 

1. Ms. MacDonal's Inquiry group is collecting recycled toilet paper and paper towel rolls for a special project. If you have any you can donate to the group please send them to school over the next few weeks. We are hoping to collect almost 50 rolls. 

2. As students get prepared to build models at school we are asking families to begin saving and collecting recycled materials at home. We will begin asking for these materials to be sent to school in the next week or so. 
Some useful items might include: 
          - clean yogurt containers        - strawberry containers
          - cereal boxes                      
If any families have extra diorama building supplies such as small fake trees, grasses or sand these would also be great items for your child to use.
