Week 34

Posted in Classroom, Field Trips | No Comments »

Hello Everyone!

Upcoming Week:

Monday– 1st and 2nd grade science projects are due!  We will do a few projects each day, so if your child needs a few more extra days their absolute last day to turn in their project for credit towards their progress report is Friday.

Tuesday– Fire Safety Show from our local fire department at 2:00pm.  We will do cultural lessons right after lunch time.

PLEASE READ!  Wednesday– Field Trip!  The weather calls for rain.  The museum is mainly indoors with only one smaller area outside.  However, we will need to walk outside to get there and also to go eat at the food court.  Please provide your child rain gear: umbrellas, boots, jackets, etc.  Have your child dress in layers so they can adjust to the weather and as they move about the children’s museum.

*Please be at the Frontrunner station on Wall Ave by 8:10am.  This will give the teachers time to make sure everyone is accounted for and give out wrist bands for the frontrunner. The train leaves at 8:37am and we do not wait for anyone who is late.  Please review your hot pink paper regarding our itinerary. We will travel to North Temple Station and then walk from there.  This will avoid the need to take TRAX.  I still need permission slips from Calvin and Janessa.  I need them by Tuesday.  Ms. Jalee’s class will also be traveling with us.  Discovery Gateway will move our classes to certain areas of the museum so that an area isn’t over crowded.  They will also take each class and do a presentation with them.  Adults who plan on coming will help the students travel, walk, and stay safe out in public.  We will mostly function as a whole group, but their will times where students can stay with a chaperone when it comes to lunch time and if the museum lets them have any time to go where they want in Discovery Gateway.

*We start gathering everyone around 1:15, do a head count, walk back to North Temple Station and then catch our train, which leaves close to 2pm.  This get us back to Ogden Station close to 3:00pm.  PLEASE PICK UP STUDENTS AT WALL AVE FRONTRUNNER STATION.  If you pick up other students at MMA, I recommend picking up the student at the frontrunner station first and then head over to MMA.

Thursday– Spring Concert at MMA!  Here is the email sent to me from Ms. Connie:

Howdy! Just thought I would send some info about the spring choir concert.  I would appreciate  you putting this info on your blog. It is April 27th which is next week on Thursday night!!!!!!  It’s best dress for the performers.  All those with the last name that start with M through Z perform at 6 o’clock this time!  Those with the last name A through L perform at 7 o’clock.  The students are encouraged to come about 5-10 minutes earlier than their performance time. Their families will need to remember that there is a space limit in the gym.  
BONUS!
There is also an art show taking place at the same time in the library. After each performance …. the students have been invited to go look at the art show. There will be some very light refreshments. 
Friday– Ms. Anna is going to a wedding this Friday and next Friday.  Ms. Rachael is coming in at 9am to do Botany for an hour.  We will do magnetism with some experiments and a little art project with aluminum foil.
