OREO cookies: The kids took a note home today about an activity that we are doing on Friday.  I would like to ask your help.  If you could send a small package of Oreos to school on Thursday that would be great. If it is a hardship, AT ALL, please don't worry about it.  I will look at how many we have on Thursday night when I go home, and buy what is needed for the activity.

What a fun trip, yesterday.  Our science center adventure was great.  The only thing that wasn't perfect was the time frame.  We could have spent days in there instead of hours.  A big thanks to everyone that came with us.  That really added an extra layer to our experience.  My favorite comment from a student was, "Don't be offended, Mrs. Haugen, but this is so much better than class.".  My favorite comment from a parent was, "How did I lose one, I only had three to watch."
