Thank you everyone for coming to conferences! We were able to meet with every parent. Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedules to meet with us. It is obvious to me that we have wonderful parents who love and care about their children. Thank you again!
Monday is our field trip to the Ogden Nature Center. We will be meeting at the nature center at 8:45 a.m. We will be there until 11 for our field ecology field trip with Ms. Kirsten’s class, then come back to the school. Because it has been cool lately, please make sure to send your child with a coat or a jacket and even a hat if you feel it necessary. The students must still wear school uniform. Please make sure they are in good shoes for walking around outside.
Wednesday is our field trip to Black Island Farms. We will be meeting at the farms in Syracuse at 8:40 a.m. We will start our day with a wagon ride to learn about the harvest of the farm and pumpkin picking. We will then be free to explore the farm and have lunch. We will be leaving the farm at 1 p.m. to come back to the school. The kids can where jeans but must still have a school uniform shirt. We will be outside so jackets or coats will be needed. Please send your child with a refillable water bottle. They will also need a sack lunch.
Our next home project is coming up. In the spirit of Thanksgiving and families, students will need to create a family tree going back to their grandparents or great-grandparents. This can include pictures is desired. A simple pedigree chart can be presented or you and your child can get as creative as you want. Your child will also need to present a short biography on a living or deceased member of your family. This should include things like name, relation to child, birth and death date (is applicable) and one or two small stories about this persons life. We will be presenting these the week before Thanksgiving break. However, if your child gets done early they can present them at any time.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
