We are so excited for our field trip to the Fort Worth Zoo on Thursday!

*Send your child to school with a disposable drink and paper sack lunch. Label both items with his or her name. We will throw all the trash away after lunch.

*Please have your child wear his or her Austin Mustang t-shirt if they have one.

Many thanks to the parents who have volunteered to chaperone our field trip to the Fort Worth Zoo: Bob Rogers, Erin Shamlian, Becca Bailey, Ashlee Kelley, Sameera Bommu, Karteek Gopisetty, Omar Hernandez and MIrelle Burch.

Please email me if you would like to join us on this fun day!

*My Visit to the Zoo

*Going to the Zoo

*If Anything Ever Goes Wrong at the Zoo

*If I Ran the Zoo

*Phonics Workshop - I can recognize that a consonant R after a vowel changes the sound of the vowel. I can use flexibility when solving words with R-controlled vowels.

*Readers Workshop - I can track the events of the story. I can make predictions.

*Writer's Workshop - I can write an opening and closing sentence.

*Grammar - I can recognize the difference between homophones.

* I can measure the length of an object using non-standard tools

such as cubes or paper clips. I can say the length of an object I have measured using the number and unit (such as 7 paper clips long).

* I can see how different characteristics help animals move, eat and/or survive in its environment.

*I can gather evidence of interdependence among living organisms such as energy transfer.
