Hello Everyone,
                Thank you to everyone that responded to my plea for adults to accompany us on field trips.  The schedule is almost full.  I have plenty of help for the Fort Vancouver trip- blessings to all of you, it is an all-day field trip and you’ll be in the bus with us (!).  I still need one more for the 3/4 and 3/19 trips to the Olympic Junior Programs,  and three more for the Nisqually National Refuge 4/17  (last year the parents that accompanied us all said it was the best field trip they had every been on with their children’s classes. So, you don’t want to miss out J . 
                  Please remember that CCA supports two children from World Vision.  We collect an offering during the week and donate the money on Tuesdays.  Please help your child learn the value of generosity. 
Homework:
Spelling:  Lesson 19
Math:   Expect long division worksheets as homework this week.  Yes, again.  
Science:  Metal filings rule! I hope you got to see the “light switch” that we made in class last week.  It was very cool.  If you’d like to replicate it at home, all you need is a flashlight bulb, D battery, tin foil and a 3x5 card.  The kids should know how to do it.
