*SNACK ALERT!*

We're almost out of snack!  Please consider sending in either a personal snack for your child each day, or a bulk snack that can be shared with the whole class at the beginning of the month.  If you haven't provided a bulk snack for the class this year, and find it inconvinient to pack a daily snack for your child; I would ask that you send in a snack at the beginning of March. 

Food is costly, and I appreciate those of you who have been so generous with your snack donations this year. 

Our class is unique!  As a group, the students and I enjoy the pleasantness of our particular classroom environment.  One advantage of our class is that every child is provided a morning snack, regardless of whether they brought one or not.  Physical well-being is essential to learning.  A hungry tummy distracts the learning process.  Please help us continue to provide your children with the best opportunities for academic success!

The Wearin' O' The Green

Author Unknown

Today is the day fer the wearin' o' the green.
Today is the day when the little people are seen.
Today is St. Patrick's Day, so if ye'r Irish me lad,
Join the celebratin' fer the grandest time ta' be had.

Ya' put yer hand up in the air, the other hand on your hip.
Ya' tap yer toe, ya' tap yer heel, ya' bounce yer knee a wee bit.
Ya' prance 'n dance around the room, n' circle one two three.
The saints be praised, I must admit, ya' all look Irish ta' me.
