Pondering a Pet

Hello Purple Room Families,

Next week, we plan to continue our discussion about a possible class pet. The students have been really interested in doing research on these animals and discussing which pet would be best for Purple Room. We have a few more animals to discuss and will hopefully make an educated decision about which pet we should purchase. My hope is that we an go to PETCO the following week (the first week of July) to pick up our new friend. Be on the lookout for release forms and chaperone sign up sheets. Next Friday we will have a water day. Fun! Please bring shoes that can get wet, a towel, and a change of clothes. Also, please don't forget to send your child to school with sunscreen already on.

Next Thursday is Teacher Tiffany's last day at Creative Minds so we will be having a pizza party to celebrate her. We will be ordering cheese pizza for our students. If this is not something you would like your child to partake in, please bring a lunch from home, otherwise, lunch will be provided Thursday (6/27).

For those of you asking, sharing will continue to be on Wednesdays and Fridays. Please encourage your child to bring a share that has not been shared with our class before. I also encourage students to find unique things to share; preferably something that we don't already have in our classroom. For example, a toy car may not be the best share seeing that we have lots of those in class. A picture or a book are always wonderful shares. Please challenge your child to think about what to bring as well as reason why they want to bring it other than the obvious answer of "I like it."

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend. Looking forward to next week!

Take care,
Shaina
