Shedd Aquarium: We will be taking a field trip to the Shedd on Friday, March 24th. If you haven't already, please send in the Shedd permission slip. Any parents who want to attend, please write a note on the bottom of the permission slip and send it in by Wednesday, March 8th. I will then pick 3 people's names out of a hat. Unfortunately, we are only able to have 3 chaperones. Thank you!!

Look for a letter that was sent home today about Leprechaun traps! Leprechaun traps are due on Thursday, March 16th. Students should fill out the Leprechaun planning page in Google Classroom by March 16th as well. I look forward to seeing the students' traps!
