The Executive Director of Animal Ark, Aaron Hiibel, just sent me a note stating that our class has been added to the enclosures of Zulu and Eli, as their adoptive parents. Try to put it in on your summer agenda to make a trip back out to Animal Ark to visit our animals one more time.  Early in the day is best! 

Yearbooks passed out and signed.

Beachballs autographed.

Cubbies cleaned out.

The Sandlot.

One last thing....

Shaving Cream! They've earned it!

Venus, basically the same size as Earth, in transit with the sun.  

It really shows how massive the sun is and 
how huge our universe really is.

This will not happen again until 2117.

Hope you were able to view it!

Field Day and the End of the Year Picnic was a great day!

The kids had a great time, the food was amazing, and it was fun to see the kids at the picnic without the structure of the classroom.  Thanks to everyone who volunteered to help and joined us for a great day!

Animal Ark Chaperone Update

If you volunteered to chaperone, first, know that 

we really appreciate you! 

We will need you to arrive at school by about 8:40.

 

*The cost for all chaperones is $5.  You will need to pay at the Bobcat Bazaar once you arrive. They really count on our funding to help support their cause.

*The tour lasts about 90 minutes, not including travel time.

*The trail we will take on the tour is about a mile long so wear comfortable shoes.

*Please remind your student that Animal Ark is an animal sanctuary and we need to be respectful to our tour guide and follow their rules. 

*Our class will be divided into 2 sections to give all students are better opportunity to view the animals.

*Once we are walking on the trail, please help remind the students to stay quiet so we will have a better chance to see all the animals.

*We will be eating lunch there, so pack your student and yourself a cold lunch.

*Last but not least, the temperature at Animal Ark is about 10 degrees cooler than in Reno.  The forecast for Friday is for a 30% chance of rain with temperatures in the lower 50s.
