Please make sure your child continues to have a healthy breakfast and that he or she is getting enough sleep each night. Remember, testing starts at 8:15 A.M., so students need to arrive to school promptly each day.

Science - We've had a great time this week learning about the different types of fossils. Do not be surprised if your child shows a new interest in visiting museums, e.g. Tellus, Fernbank, etc. in order to go see "the dinosaurs"! Both museums are absolutely fabulous. Tellus also has a wonderful Rock and Mineral exhibit.
