 Mrs. Elliott's class is studying flowering plants and plant regions. Next her class will be planting seeds to observe and write about. Mrs. Elliott's birthday was on March 5th. She turned 44 years young. Her class will be reading lots of books about Easter and doing activities with them. Mrs. Elliott is planning to plant flowers in her beautiful yard and play her favorite sport golf with her friends. I am interviewing Mrs. Price and these are the questions. What are we going to do in April? And how do you think they will do on their test? "We are going to be finishing up plants and insects. We'll also be having an Easter party. We're going to do a practice test. And Mrs. Price thinks they'll do good on their test! |

I interviewed Mrs. Robinette. I asked her what are the kids doing now? "We are studying cities of the world." Ms. Robinette, what are you doing on Spring Break? "I will be housecleaning and working on a baby afghan for my niece, Barbara." What is going on in May, do you know? "After April testing, we will be doing a lot of whole language activities and studying electricity." Mrs. Robinette, how old are you? "I am old enough to know better, but not young enough to get by with it!" 
Without Mrs. Hill it will be harder on Mrs. Alexander. Accelerated students have been working on Power Point. Fourth and fifth graders are going to be doing database and spreadsheets. Primary students are going to be working on keyboarding.

 The KMEA Festival When we first got on the bus, we had water, crackers, and rice crispie treats. Soon after we were there. We watched a few people perform. Then we had to go up and we sang "Enla feria de San Juan," "Peace Round," and "All Through the Night." We received 3 distinquished ratings! There were 61 students. On the way back it was boring, but there was a funny part. I was sitting with Elizabeth. She saw me put a little bit of water in my lid. So she poured hers and here comes the funny part. She spilled a whole lot until I said STOP. So I laughed al ot and couldn't hardly stop. But we finally made it and Mrs. Morris announced on the speaker our rating.  Kentucky and Duke. At first Duke was winning by 8 points. But then Kentucky caught up and won. Next they played Stanford. How did you like the game? They did a good job. Did you want Kentucky to win? YES. Did you watch the game? YES. Lexington celebrates it's 7th NCAA crown. Kentucky 78, Utah 69. Jeff Sheperd was named the Most Valuable Player of the Game. Tubby Smith shared a joyous moment after last night's victory. |

I have asked fifteen students from our family what they would like to do for our spring break. Eight students have said they want to swim and skate. Two people have said they would like to go fishing. Two have said they would lke to use their imaginations. One has said he would like to go hunting. One said she would like to be totally bored and one said that he would like to play outside.  I kept the weather report for several days. Four days were nice and sunny and one day was partly cloudly.
Our Recycling Program is going well. So far we've earned about $42.00 on cans and $49.00 on paper. Keep up the good work. The last PTA meeting will be April 30th. Other PTA events will be Teacher's Appreciation Week and Fun Day held the last day of school.

It was held on March 30th. at the Center. A guy named Mike did magic. We might go again next year. Mike called some people up on the stage. They did a little play. It was funny. He said they're starting to make things with recycled paper. They use 75,000 trees every week to make The New York Times!

My sister is always saying dud and man. When I say it, I get into trouble. What should I do? Signed, Trouble Dear Trouble, Trouble, just because your so called sister says it doesn't mean it's alright for you to do it.
 I researched about frogs; a Burrowing Frog, a Red-Eyed-Leaf-Frog and a Leopard Diving Frog. Burrowing Frog This frog's short, powerful legs are well built for digging. It burrows into the colder soil of it's South Australian desert habitat to wait out the unpleasantness of extreme heat, descending to a state of stupor, much like hibernation. Other kinds burrow to conceal themselves or to ambush prey. Many have sharp snouts to aid them in their digging. Red-Eyed-Leaf-Frog This frog is one of the many species of the rain forest tree frogs that have adhesive toe pads. This modification of the toes of the front and hind legs allows these small frogs to adhere to the undersides of leaves and to crawl up the vertical surfaces of tree trunks and other surfaces with relative ease. |
Leopard Diving Frog The fully webbed feet of the Leopard frog are adapted for an aquatic existence. Frogs have the ability to move quickly whether on land or underwater. The amphibians use their powerful legs to kick when swimming and to leap forward when on land.
It has been a pleasure to work with this great bunch of kids who have worked so hard on this newsletter. We have all learned alot, not only from each other, but from all of you too. I hope you have enjoyed reading this newsletter as much as we have enjoyed writing it!
