are needed to see this picture.

I already miss having Lisa in our room. An extra person is such a great help and she did such a nice job.
We had a going away party and each student made her a special card and I bound them into a book.
We also gave her a photo album of all of her experiences, a memories photo frame so she can display
pictures and an Otters shirt. We ended the party with some ice cream treats. Lisa will come back
and visit in April and we look forward to seeing her again. Thank you for all of your support of our
student teacher!

Ag Week
We learned more about agriculture this week through the study of our Ag Magazines (which should be in the home
folder), as well as our guest speaker, Melissa Davenport, who brought in great samples and pictures of several
aspects of farming, including samples of various crops, pictures and supplies used to raise chickens/eggs, lambs,
and more. Ask your child what he/she learned.

Wet Wipes
Thank you to all who donated wet wipes. We wash down the desks, tables, computers, door knobs, etc. each Friday
and as needed throughout the week.
