Hello!
We have been having fun adding to our Kapok tree all week. We have been learning about the animals of the Amazon Rainforest. 
This week, we will make a project that shows the layers of the rainforest and the students will learn which animals live in which layer.

FYI:
- Monday- BMX bike show! I honestly do not know what to expect but it sounds cool!
- THURSDAY- is a Shaker Lane Spirit Day: Time to Play Day! Students are invited to bring in a toy/game from home to play with during choice time- it should not be electronic.
- We filled our heart ❤ jar! The students voted for a PJ & Stuffy Day (with movie and popcorn😆). This will be on Friday.
- I still need THIS form filled out for our field trip info. If you haven't, please do! The kitchen will need to plan well in advance for what lunches to order/prepare. THX!😄
