Sorry about the blog confusion with the posting of your predictions. I have no control over when the emails go out, but the blog should be updated as soon as I post new information. The children were suppose to come home and tell you to go on together and predict what cheese we would like the most. Thank you for making your predictions. We really enjoyed the cheese tasting.
I would like to do Fruit Smoothies for Friday. We will need 6 bags of Yoplait Smoothie mix found in the freezer/fruit drink section at the store. If you can send in one (any flavor) please let me know. You can email me or comment on the blog. You can send it in anytime this week until Friday morning. We will also need a half gallon of skim milk and plastic/paper cups. If your child has any dairy allergies (milk will be added to the smoothie) or fruit allergies please let me know of any alternatives so they can participate. Thank you.
We will have a math test on Wednesday. This will cover addition, subtraction, greater than/less than, and written problem solving.
Have a wonderful Monday.
