Today we spent time sketching plants and some artifacts collected on our walk around the school grounds earlier this week. We started with timed sketches that made us realize how much more detail we could add when given more time, and when we take the time to stop and look closely at things. In the coming weeks we will be developing nature journaling skills and techniques to prepare us for an upcoming multi-day off-site experience at Ralph Klein Park. 

**PARENTS-we will be looking for 5 volunteers to join our class each day October 15, 16,17, and 18. If you could please check your calendars and let me know your availability at conferences next week that would be greatly appreciated.**

Reminders:

- Blue forms and choir forms need to be returned

- Book orders due Friday

- Please send appropriate indoor shoes for PE that can stay at school
