Happy President's Break!

Thank you to all who donated money for the Multiage Manatees to adopt a real manatee.  We have raised $300.00!  The students are very excited to learn about our special adopted manatee! 

Dr. Seuss Day is Friday, March 2 

Purdy Elementary will be celebrating with The Lorax theme by going green.  Students are encouraged to wear green clothing and recycled hats (please make these at home).  It will also be Pass the Hat Day to benefit the Cancer Society.  Our staff Relay for Life Team will be collecting change brought in by students.

Please join Mrs. Perine and Mrs. Angus for the viewing of The Lorax, by Dr. Seuss, on Friday, March 2 (time tba) at the Galaxy Theater.  A perfect way to celebrate Dr. Seuss Day!

We want to share what we did in the classroom for Valentine's Day and 100 Day.

For Valentine's Day

We read My Heart is Like a Zoo, by Michael Hall.

Then students made their own heart-shaped animals.

On 100 Day, students counted out 100 Legos, built clever creations, then drew pictures and

wrote about what they created. 

 They were so engaged! 

It was a wonderful experience to observe. 

Watch and see for yourself!

The Lorax Coming to the Manatee Classroom!

We will begin reading The Lorax in the classroom on Monday, February 6th. 

Published in 1971 by Dr. Seuss, The Lorax is an ecological warning that still rings true today amidst the dangers of clear-cutting, pollution, and disregard for the earth's environment. In The Lorax, we find what we've come to expect from the illustrious Dr. Seuss: brilliantly whimsical rhymes, delightfully original creatures, and uniquely undulating illustrations.

Parent/Child Book Study
You are invited to read the book at home with your child.  We have created a Book Study for you to use at home.  You can purchase the The Lorax online at Amazon.com or Barnes & Nobles in Silverdale.  Hope you can join our experience!
If you are interested in doing the book study, please contact Mrs. Angus by email.  She will send you a Book Study Guide, a Nonfiction Book List which compliments The Lorax, and a book mark. 

We also invite you to join our class at the theater on Saturday, March 2, for the showing of The Lorax.  Visit The Lorax official site to view trailers and play games.  Stay tuned for time and location of the movie viewing.
