Beautiful Day
Thank you to everyone for making our wonderful field trip amazing. It was a beautiful fall day on the farm. I appreciate our chaperones, certified drivers, and all of the parent support. If you have pictures from our field trip that you would like submitted for possible entry into the yearbook, please forward them to me.
Boosters for certified drivers
Just a quick reminder, if your child uses a booster when riding in a car, double check if their driver needs you to leave one. Kate has two extra. Thanks and we look forward to seeing those who signed up for rides at 8:10 a.m. and the rest at the farm at 8:45 a.m.
Snack Help
I made a mistake on our snack sign up and we don’t have anyone signed up to provide snack this week. If you are able to provide something Wednesday and Thursday, would you send me a quick email. Thanks.
Thank You
I wanted you to know how much I enjoyed visiting with each of you during conferences. Your children are a delight and I feel fortunate I get to spend my day with each of them. I look forward to working on the goals we have set in place and at anytime you have a question, concern, or a celebration, please feel free to email me.
Reminder that we are nearing the end of the month and home projects are due. Next month we will be working on our Europe projects for the International Festival held in December. Start thinking which country your child would like to research. I will begin a sign up sheet inside the classroom. You can send me an email or they can come and tell me. It will be on a first serve bases. This is our most in depth project of the year. For those of you new to the International Festival, it is like a science fair for country studies and a big school wide event. Your child will need a 3-part display board for this project. We will not be having a formal project due in December, but I would encourage these to be completed by the end of November. Please see our page on home projects for additional information.
Thank you for your continued support with the roaring readers club. Please send back folders tomorrow morning.
Black Island Farms Field Trip
PLEASE READ
Our field trip to Black Island Farms (3178 S 3000 W, Syracuse) is this Tuesday morning. Students must be at the farm no later than 8:45 a.m. Our hayride will begin at exactly 9:00 a.m. and they will not be able to wait for late arrivals. If you are riding with a carpool, please meet them at North Shore Parking lot, no later than 8:10 a.m. The drive from the school to the farm is approximately 30 minutes. Do not sent students into the classroom, I will not be there to greet them.
If you are an additional parent wanting to attend, please know that the cost is $4.00 and there is no guarantee of room on the hayride. Teachers, certified drivers, and my 2 confirmed chaperones, will for certain be attending the hayride with the students. They do charge for anyone that walks. If there is not room, you will be welcome to attend all other aspects of the field trip.
Please dress for the weather. I am seeing a possibility of rain. If the weather is uncertain come Tuesday morning, I will try and contact the farm and send out an email.
Bring a sack lunch and water bottle.
We will plan on leaving the farm about 12:45 p.m. and return back to the school about 1:15 p.m.
If you have any further questions, please feel free to send me an email.
I need your help
Families, I am asking that you consider signing up to help with our Fall Festival this Friday. The funds we raise from this event goes to help your children and our school. It will count toward your 40 hours of service. I understand how busy life is and how we have numerous commitments, but this is a great way to contribute and have fun while doing it. Thanks for your consideration. You can find the link here.
Certified Drivers for Black Island Farms
We are fortunate to have certified drivers for our upcoming field trip. I have created a wejoin here for you to sign up. If you still need a ride for your child and all the slots are full, our room mother might be able to coordinate rides for you.
Opportunity to help
Our class has been working together to try and problem solve a pencil problem we are having. The students would like to see if someone would be willing to make a pencil holder for us. Several of your children have volunteered your help, but I figure we would ask. We need something similar to the picture posted. We would need for it to hold 30 regular size pencils. It doesn’t need to be fancy, doesn’t even need to be painted, just cut and drilled. If you are interested in helping us, please send an email. The time spent would count towards your 40 volunteers hours and would make for a great solution. Thank so much!
Field Trip Permission Forms
Students brought home permission slips today. Please read them over and send them back right away. I do have a certified driver who can drive 5 students and I can help arrange rides for those children, so please send me an email. If you are a certified driver for the school and would be available, please let me know asap. If your child needs a ride beyond our certified driver, our classroom room mother may be able to help arrange those, otherwise you will need to make your own arrangements. If you want to know other upcoming field trip dates, please see our blog page. They are listed under the year at a glance.
Thank you for your continued support with our new Roaring Readers club. I did send a few home in ziplock bags, if your child did not return their folder. These are due back on Friday.
