During our last week of class for the 2007-08 school year, we will be inviting our parents to come see all the wonderful things we have learned about the rainforest. We would like to take you on an imaginary flight to the Amazon forest while we sing and entertain you. An invitation will be sent home for this exciting event. We had a pizza lunch celebration on May 2 nd. Our class collected the most raffle tickets for the PTA fundraiser//Spring Fair. We collected over 12,000nt. Thank you to all the families that helped support our fundraiser. Thank you to all the moms that joined us for our Zoo trip. The weather could not have been better and the weather was perfect.
