April 14th 2011

I hope everyone had a great Spring break I heard many stories (some real, some not!) about all of the places you went.  I had a great time in Penghu on the beach.  It was my first time there and I would definitely return. 

We have started the Community Helpers unit and we had an amazing time at the police station today.  Next week we will be looking at grocery stores and where we buy food, followed to the fruit market.  During the upcoming weeks it would be a great opportunity for you to talk about the various people in our community and how they help us.   Talk about where the people in the community and the job that they do.

There is a change in dates the fire station trip is going to be moved to May 4th at 10:30 not April 27th
          
      The weather is warming up and the students get very hot and sweaty.  Try to bring clothes that are comfortable for them to wear.  Short sleeve shirts, shorts and hats are always good during this warmer weather.  Also remember to replace clothes that we send home.
