Week 8
Posted on Sunday, October 13th, 2013 at 5:06 pmHello!
Few things to pass along to you all!
On Fridays, please no characters on shirts! Not even sports teams. If your child wears a hoodie, they must put them in their locker while inside the building. I have the heat on in our room if it is chilly, but if it becomes cold, please have your child wear a sweater.
Fall Festival is Saturday October 26th. This is the day we can wear costumes.
I am looking at having an afternoon Fall/Halloween small party for the kids on Friday October 25th. Please let me know if you would like to participate and help out. I have some craft and snack ideas I just need the help getting the supplies and helpers on that day for it to be successful. Please email me if you would be interested!
October’s Pumpkin book report is up! Please look under the Home Project tab!
Thursday, October 24th is our first field trip to Black Island Farms. Permission slips went out Friday. They are brightly colored. I asked the children to try and return them by Wednesday 10/16. That way I can work on putting together rides. However, at the very latest, permission slips are due NO LATER than 10/22!
Here is the information for Black Island Farms:
3178 S 3000 W Syracuse, UT 84075
(801) 825-6236
If your child needs a ride, please drop them off at the school at normal time. Please no later than 8:30am, so I can take roll. Certified drivers will take your children. If you are a certified driver, please be at the school by 8:20am at the latest! If you wish to take your own child or want to carpool with another parent form our class, I, nor the school can have any part in your arrangement. The carpool must take place off school ground and I can not arrange anything for you. Please see the pink page (2nd page) for times on the permission slip. If your child loses their permission slip, please look under the Field Trip tab. I will post everything under there as well, as well as the permission slip so you can reprint it. We are allotted 1 chaperone per 5 students. Accounted for chaperones for field trips will always go to certified drivers. If you wish to come you are welcome, but you will have to pay separately. If you have younger children I would suggest a babysitter for this field trip. Their numbers are limited and between our class and Ms. Jalee’s class we meet the exact maximum number of 55. However, I would call Black Island Farms to double check, but from their emails they seem strict about their numbers. On other field trips we go on, paying for a sibling has been okay.
