Last Wednesday we had an Amazing Animals assembly. Here are some pictures. We enjoyed seeing these real live wild animals and 
having an opportunity to pet them!

Another animal that was part of the Amazing Animals assembly was a cat. What is unique about this cat is that it plays the piano. Here is the website of the cat and others playing in a band. It is hilarious! Enjoy!

Don't forget next week, 4/14, is our field trip to Downers Grove. We originally were going to Girodono's for pizza, but there was a conflict with the accommodations. We will be dining at Home Run Inn Pizza for lunch at 75th at Lemont instead. I plan to arrive at 11:30 am. Please feel free to meet us at Home Run Inn for lunch. If you decide you would like to eat with us, the cost for the lunch buffet for adults is $10. You would just pay for yourself at the restaurant. Thanks!
