Flower Pen Mania!!!!!!

"Week One" of our class flower factory was a huge success! We have sold 802 flower pens as of Friday - that is incredible! We are so proud of all the student's hard work taking orders and their excitement during the factory on Friday. Our last factory day will be this coming Friday, February 5th.

The money both classes profited from the flower pen factory will be donated to two local charities. The students took a vote on Friday and the two charities they decided upon are:

*Adopting the Bald Eagle "Liberty" from the Houston Zoo

*Donating children's books/games to Texas Children's Hospital.

Here are a few pictures from Friday's factory - thanks to all the helpers who came to assist and supervise the workers!

Check out this link below to see a short video about the bald eagle at The Houston Zoo, Liberty. She is the animal we'll be adopting this year and is a resident at the McGovern Children's Zoo (which is within The Houston Zoo). We will look forward to meeting her when we go on our field trip in March!
