6th grade Planetarium Field Trip

Mar11

The 6th grade classes will be going on a field trip to The Clark Planetarium in SLC, Tuesday, March 24, 2015.  Students will meet at the Ogden Frontrunner Station at 8:15 am that morning.  This three part field trip is an extension of the study of planets and solar system in the science curriculum.

Please note that we are asking for a donation of $5.00 to offset the cost of the transportation and the IMAX movie and lesson in the dome theater.  Payments can be made online at https://secureinstantpayments.com?Event=1651

Please note that parents are responsible for transportation to and from the Frontrunner Station.  Drop off at 8:15am and pick up at 2:52pm.  Please be on time dropping off and picking your children up from the station.  There is plenty of time to pick up your 6th levels first and return to the school afterward to pick up any other children you have at MMA by 3:15.

 

Ogden Nature Center Field Trip

Mar9

Just a reminder that our field trip to the ONC is tomorrow, Tuesday, March 10.  You will be meeting at the center by 9am (preferably ten minutes early) and picking your children up at 2:30.

If you have made carpool arrangements with others in the class, please touch base with them today in order to clarify plans.

Because the weather will be chilly in the morning, please make sure your children are appropriately dressed with a jacket and pants.  Please pack a lunch for your child that does not require heating.  There will be no microwaves in which to warm their food.

Thank you for supporting our field trip!

 

Ogden Nature Center Field Trip

Mar4

Mine and Ms. Amy’s class will be going on a field trip to The Ogden Nature Center in Ogden, Utah on March 10, 2015.  We will meet at The Ogden Nature Center at 9:00 a.m. on March 10th.  The students will gain insight into Utah’s diverse landscape.  Discover the forces that create our wetlands, forests and deserts.  Investigate plant and animal life and examine potential threats to many important ecosystems.  We will eat lunch at the Nature Center and explore The Nature Center for the afternoon.  We will return back to Maria Montessori Academy at about 2:30 p.m.

Chaperones please be aware The Ogden Nature Center does NOT allow siblings to come on the field trip with us.

 

As an aside, IXL assignments this week are student choice.  I have asked the students to choose three areas they need more practice in and let me know what they are working on.  Please make sure your children are practicing IXL, though there isn’t a specific assignment for each grade level this week, they are required to practice.
