Butterfly Class News for April 20 - 24, 2015 View this email in your browser

THANK YOU! Thank you to everyone who somehow participated in our annual Little Acorn auction. It was a great success! Once everything is calculated, we will let you know how much we raised towards our new school sign and acorn play equipment for the playground. This Week - Butterflies and Bugs Our caterpillars are here and growing quickly. It shouldn't be long before we can move them into their butterfly habitat. Come on in and see them! We will be learning about their lifecycle this week, as well as other bugs and insects.

Seussical Jr. As a school, we will be attending Seussical Jr. on Tuesday May 19. They play begins at 9:30am at the theater at Fort Vancouver High School. Tickets cost $6 each. Sign-up outside the classroom. We will begin collecting money after Spring Break. Elevator Information Just a friendly reminder - the elevator is only for families with strollers or people who need physical assistance. At no time should a child be in the elevator by themselves. We appreciate your cooperation and understanding. Volunteer Opportunities: Approved snack donations are now a way to fulfill party of your 2-hour volunteer requirement. There is a list posted outside the classroom. Classroom Opportunities: Recycling - 15 minutes Washing toys/dress-up - 30 minutes Making playdough - 30 minutes Playdough The Butterfly class would love to have some fresh playdough. If you would like to make some, let us know. It's also a great way to earn 30 minutes of volunteer time. Thanks! Change Drive to Support Childhood Cancer Research As a school, we are gathering change to donate to cancer research. A former student of Little Acorn and grandson of a former LAPSK teacher passed away at too young of an age recently due to cancer, and we would like to honor his memory. We will have a container outside the classroom this week if you would like to participate. Thank you. Word Wall - Letter Y This week is tricky - we will be focusing on the letter Y for yak, yellow, and YEAH! Please help your child find something that begins with the letter Y for sharing. Thanks!
