Field Trip and MLK!

Wow!  Things have been moving right along these last two weeks.  We have finished up our dinosaur unit and I think the kids enjoyed it a lot.  The students investigated fossils, read about different types of dinosaurs (plant and meat eaters) and learned about paleontology!  We have also been busy adjusting to changes in our classroom procedures.  

On Tuesday we will be visiting the Texas History Museum at the University of Texas.  I am thankful for the parent volunteers who signed up to help and would like to encourage any parents who wish to come along to meet us at the museum.  I have never been to the Texas History Museum and am excited to learn about our local history along with the students.

We will also be celebrating the life and work of Dr. Martin Luther King this week.  This offers our class a special opportunity to talk about fairness, respect and equality - all things that we wish to instill in our youngster!

See you soon!

Mr. Garland

P.S.

I realize that I did not include a calendar in this months Thursday folders.  I will try and get something ready for next Thursday.  Also, I am going through the parent permission forms and will soon be posting classroom pictures!
