Locks
We are looking for all different types of locks with keys for our class room.  I would like to have a bin that has different types and sizes of locks with keys as a manipulative exercise during our morning table time. So if you have some old locks that have the keys with them we would gladly take them off your hands.

Box Tops
A great way to help our school is through saving Box Tops! Turn in your box top sheet with your child’s name on it (or in a bag with your child’s name on it). An auction ticket will be given to the family who brings in the most Box Tops!
Auction
This year auction will be help on Saturday April 18th at Big Al’s! Tickets will be $18/person, or $34/couple until April 10th.  After April 10, tickets will be $22/person or $40/couple. This is an adult-only night, and a night where we can have lots of fun, play games and have a good time. Families who purchase auction tickets will get free bowling coupons that can be used at a later date so they can bring their families back to enjoy the fun.

Auction Baskets
Each year our class puts together a themed basket to bid on for our Auction.  We are looking for suggestions on a theme and then will collect items for it in the following weeks leading up to Auction.

This week in the Dragonfly Class 
This week in the Dragonfly Class will explore the world of Wild Animals!  We will talk about what animals the children want to learn about and go from there.  We will send home Animal Reports for the children to do at home.  While they will need your guidance I want your child to take the lead in their learning.  When your child brings in their report we will talk about what they learned. J We will explore Wild Animals for the next two weeks.

Word Wall
The letter of the week is Q this week.  Please help your child bring in an item that begins with the letter Q.  We will only be sharing items that are related to the letter of the week, so if it’s not obvious please give us hint.
