In science class, we continue our unit on animals and their habitats. Last week, information about a habitat project that will be due November 9th was sent home. Students have chosen their animals, and have been given information about how to do the project, but they may need some parental assistance with researching their animal and its habitat. If your child has any questions about the project, please have him/her ask me! Thanks!

We will begin learning about our continents and oceans, as well as how to read and use maps!

*Just a reminder that you can access our class blog by going to www.zionmrsbrewer.blogspot.com OR by going to the school website (www.brightonzionlutheran.org), clicking on School, Class Pages, and Mrs. Brewer’s name.
*If your child has a fever, please keep him/her at home.
