Morning Mystery Word:

SLANK (character in Peter and the Starcatchers)

Thursday: FIELD TRIP!! To the World Forestry Center - right next to the zoo. We're taking the MAX, bringing lunch and taking a little hike around the arboretum. Sign up outside class to come along! More the merrier. Might be a good idea to bring lunch in a paper bag, so that favorite lunch boxes and bottles don't get lost during the many adventures of the day.

Lots of questions about the bringing of little brother and sisters and attempted stories about favorite lunch boxes and bottles.

Maybe we'll have a vote if we will read the next Peter book in the series after we finish Peter and the Starcatchers.
