Looking ahead to the week of November 24

Students enjoyed a visit from the Rotary Club.  They delivered dictionaries to everyone in our class!

Our class just finished learning about weathering, erosion, and deposition.  Students looked for evidence of all three processes on the playground.

Hello, families!  I hope you all are having a wonderful week!

Lapathon:  Students will enjoy our school's Lapathon Monday, November 24.  Please make sure your child dresses appropriately and wears tennis shoes.  

"Being There Experience" to the Lexington County Museum:  Students will be visiting the Lexington County Museum Tuesday, November 25.  Please make sure your child dresses appropriately for the weather and wears tennis shoes.  Also, if you chose to send a lunch with your child, please be sure to do so! 

Looking ahead:  We have limited time next week, due to Monday's Lapathon and Tuesday's "Being There Experience."  As scientists, students will be tested on soil, land changes, natural resources, and fossils. 

An opportunity to donate:  Please feel free to share the following site with family, friends, or members of the community, if they would like to donate items to our class!  We'll periodically add to this site throughout the year for items needed in our classroom.  You can search for Bookman Road Elementary, Mrs. West's class to find out more!  CrowdED Donations

A note from Second Grade:
Dear Bookman Beacons, 

Second Grade is kicking off their Service Learning Project today! Please share this information with your students and/or on your newsletter or blog. Thanks so much for your help!! 

Who: Second Grade is kicking off their Service Learning Project. Dog and cat food will be given to the Banfield Hospital for pet owners that cannot afford food for their pets. 

What: We are asking that students collect dog and cat food for struggling pet owners.

When: November 17th - December 19th

How: Please ask students to bring in cat food or dog food.

Where: Please ask them to drop it off to the cafeteria drop off area. There will be a designated Banfield Hospital drop off sign.

Why:  We are collecting dog and cat food for struggling pet owners. "Providing pet food can be the difference between being able to keep a cherished pet and being forced to surrender him or her. We routinely hear from pet owners living on a fixed income that they are sharing their limited human food supply with their pet which means both human and pet are facing hunger and lack of proper nutrition."

~ Banfield Hospital

I hope you all have a great week with your families!  Thank you again for all of your support!
