We had a great week of learning! Your child took home the plant seed they planted last week.  They were amazed by how fast their seeds grew. They also documented the growth in their science journals.  Our sprout houses are starting to sprout ( fingers crossed).  We can see the seeds are changing colors so we are hoping we have sprouts on Monday.  

Your child took home a field trip form today.  Please fill out the front and the back of then form, which is the district form. We are heading to the Austin Zoo on April 27.  This field trip will celebrate our PBL project on animals!  We will leave Forest Creek at 9:15 and return at 1:45.  If you would like to volunteer, please mark that on your child's sheet.  School funds will pay for the students but  parents will need to provide their own entrance fee and transportation. 

Please let me know if you want the cafeteria to pack a sack lunch for your child or if you are providing lunch.  I told the class if everyone returns their form by Tuesday, we will earn extra recess AND extra points!
