Weather

Please be careful this afternoon and tonight with all the severe weather we are supposed to get. Even though we have had bad weather it has been a great opportunity to talk to the kids about their safe spot, items to have in case of emergency, and what to do in these types of situations. Please be careful!

Also, there is a pink note in gold folders today about a Fun Day planned for May 13 at the Optimist Park. Please read through it carefully as we need some volunteers!

Special Guests

Since Spring Break, we’ve had lots of neat happenings going on. When we came back from Spring Break we had Miss Arkansas, Alyse Eady, come visit the school. Everyone wanted their picture made with her, especially the boys!

That same day, Dr. Brian Peters (Kaitlynn’s dad), a local vet came to our classes to talk to us about vertebrates and invertebrates. Since we were studying them at the time, it was just perfect. He brought his St. Bernard and a 7 foot Boa Constrictor. He also let us look at a tapeworm that had been removed from an animal and a heart that had heartworms. Most of the kids were amazed and grossed out at the same time.




This past week, Doyet Moore (Kadin’s grandpa), was on Watch Dog duty. Instead of patrolling the halls, he wanted to do some amazing science experiments. The students were in awe!  He made them think, challenged their minds, and made them laugh.



No worries! He advised the kids not to try this last one at home! :)
Heads up! May is going to be crazy with activities! Check your student’s gold folder and agenda regularly!
