Today there was one disappointment for your kids. Apparently, the Environmental Center did not order our owl pellets on time so they did not come in. We were supposed to dissect them today, but it will have to wait until next week. While the kids were definitely disappointed, they handled it well. I was disappointed too and I can’t wait until we can have our owl pellets next week!
Choice hour forms for the fourth quarter were put in your child’s mailbox Monday! Can you believe we are getting ready for the fourth quarter already?!!! These forms are due by Friday at 4:00pm.

A Word from Our Wonderful Room Moms:
The BCS auction is coming up and we will be in need of some volunteers to help out with either serving food or playing games. I think they are 1/2 hour increments. I will send you the time slots that need to be filled, and if you are available for one of them, you can "reply all" to lets us know what you are available to do. Thanks so much for all of your help!, Butzin Room Moms
BLAST… For the BCS auction, each classroom has been asked to donate a "theme" basket. Our classroom theme will be a Family Fun Night. We will fill the basket with games, crafts, movie tickets, etc. Whatever you think would be fun for a family with school age children. We are asking that each family, that is able to do so, make a single donation. The donation can be anything from a deck of cards to movie tickets, to popcorn. We will have a box in the classroom labeled auction items. Your child may bring the item to school and place it in the box. If you could please let us know what your donation item will be, so that we do not have duplicates, that would be helpful. Just jot down the name of the item and then click on "reply all".
