Another Busy Week

Well Monday is right around the corner. Don't forget to send your kiddos library book this Tuesday. We will check out new books.

Also if you have not signed up for PTA please do so.

Thanks to Jenny Melendez and family for a wonderful Diez y Seis! What a fun tradition at Zilker.

This week we really need boxes and other containers that so students can build their communities. Please send those in tomorrow if at all possible.

Thanks to Charlee's family for the very healthy snacks this week. We truly appreciate your help.

What's Happenin' This Week

Hello Everyone. Just a reminder that this week we have a short presentation at the Outdoor Learning Center in the morning at 7:45 tomorrow morning. Also this Wednesday night at 6:30 is the Diez y Seis celebration. Remember to bring rice and your own plate to cut down on trash. Bring a blanket as well so you can sit out in the front of the school under the big tree! We cannot wait to see you all there:).

Honoring Piet

This week we had a full week of exciting activities. We worked as scientists in our classroom during science lab. Students tried to figure out mystery items that were wrapped in boxes! We also conducted our first class experiment! Students loved figuring out the unexpected when slurping water through two straws.

This week we honored Piet. Unfortunately we have lost his book, so we will tell him all of the things we like about him as soon as the book is found!

We also shared our family bags which was so much fun. Students fit so much in their little lunch bags James called them "Mary Poppin" Bags!

In writing we are writing about ourselves- our likes, dislikes and goals. This week we will share and begin working on our hero pieces. The hero pieces began after September 11th- which the anniversary is coming up.

Thanks to Hansi's mom for sending in a week's worth of snacks! Yummy.

I have finally sent all of you and email. I hope it finds you well.

I hope you are having a safe Labor day Weekend. See you in the morning:)
