Room 4 Toy Animal Show
Attention students in Room 4! We have an exciting event this week.
On Friday afternoon, our class will host a Toy Animal Show. The show will start at two o'clock on the big blue rug.
You may bring one toy animal from home. You do not need to buy anything new.
If you do not have a toy at home, do not worry! You can borrow a toy animal from our classroom bin on Friday morning.
Our bin has soft bears, green frogs, and spotted dogs. There are plenty of fun toys for everyone to share.
Each student will get one small white card. You will write your animal's name on the card.
You can also write what your animal likes to eat. You may draw a little picture of food on the card.
At two o'clock, we will set our animals in a wide circle on the rug. We will walk around with quiet museum feet to see every display.
Mr. Rivera will play cheerful music while we explore. You can tell a friend one neat fact about your toy creature.
Please keep your toy inside your backpack until our show begins. Get ready for a wonderful Friday afternoon in Room 4!
