Thank you!
I just wanted to say thank you to everyone that was able to make it to the family breakfast, it was a wonderful to see your families. If you weren’t able to make it we were missed but I hope you had a great weekend and we will be displaying our art this week outside our classroom.

Pet Pictures
Since we are talking about pets this week we would love for your children to share about their pets.  We will have a place to display pet pictures, I always encourage copies.  J We will keep these up for the rest of the year.

Silent Auction
Auction will be 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.
Tickets are on sale now!
**Families who purchase auction tickets will get free bowling coupons

Seussical Jr. Play
We will be going to see the play Seussical Jr. at Fort Vancouver High School.  The play will begin at 9:30 and parents need to attend and transport their child.  I will have a signup sheet out so we can confirm the number of people attending.  

This week in the Dragonfly Class
We will be exploring pets this week because our children love pets! We will be sharing about our own personal pets and talking about animals that they might want as a pet.  We will be converting our kitchen area into a Pet Hospital.  So if you have any extra clean pet items you would like to share we would love them! We will be writing stories about pets, painting and creating pet art.  We will be reading the book Not Norman about a little boy that gets a fish instead of a dog (which he tries to trade for a dog but ends up liking this little gold fish) which is relevant to us because we are getting a fish for our class!

Word Wall
The letter of the next two weeks will be Vv!   Your child can bring in an item that starts with the letter of the week and we will write the word out and put on our word wall.

This week’s songs in the Dragonfly Class 
My Dog Rags
I’ve got a dog and his name is Rags
He eats so much that his tummy sags
His ears flip, flop & his tail wig wags
And when he walks, he goes zig zag.
He goes flip flop, wig wag, zig zag.
He goes flip flop, wig wag, zig zag.
He goes flip flop, wig wag, zig zag.
I love Rags, and he loves me.
My dog Rags, he loves to play
He rolls around in the mud all day
I call him (whistle), he doesn't obey
He always runs the other way.
He goes flip flop, wig wag, zig zag.
He goes flip flop, wig wag, zig zag.
He goes flip flop, wig wag, zig zag.
I love Rags, and he loves me.
