Hello,
Our class subscription to the Santa Cruz Sentinel has become a victim of the economic times, and we are no longer receiving the newspaper. I would like to continue our news teams activity and other current events lessons and was hoping I could ask you to send in already read newspapers with your child. Any paper and any date of the week is fine. It would be especially nice to get Sunday and Monday papers for class on Monday - we could get our news teams for the week set up with these. Also, I would like to do a weather activity with the kids tomorrow and would love some papers for this. Thanks!
Our field trip to the weather station is this Thursday. We will be leaving school at 9:15 and will return by 1:30. If weather permits, we would like to have lunch at Dennis the Menace Park which is nearby. Please have your child bring a bag lunch.
Our trip to the symphony is next Monday. Everyone will need a bag lunch that day as well.
Please remember to send in permission slips and $5.00 for our trip to UCSC on March 2.
Again, I'm sorry about all these trips falling so close together!

I sent home guidelines for the final draft of the president report today. Beginning today I will be assigning parts of the report each night. Hopefully this will prevent any last minute panic!

Thanks and have a good week.

Mrs. Koue
