We started our Australia unit this week. We did a brief overview of the continent and are now learning about some of the animals. We have learned about kangaroos and koalas so far. I think the children were surprised to learn there are many kinds of kangaroos that range in size from 1-6 feet.

Our spring concert is scheduled for Wednesday, May 18th at 2:15 p.m. The children are working on the program during Spanish and music.

We would like to spend a morning at the park before the end of the school year. Our class has done this the last few years instead of a field trip. The children really enjoy the day. We would plan to leave school at 9:30 and go to Peony Park for the morning. We would have a picnic lunch at the park and return to school at noon. We would like to go on Friday, May 20th. If you would be willing to drive or help coordinate our picnic lunch, let the teachers know.
