9 days left of school! Where did the time go?

Well today was a super fast Monday for us! It is our second to last Monday of the year, how weird! I have no idea where the time has gone from us!

Today we had a LOT of extra music practices to get ready for tomorrow night's concert. The concert starts at 6:00 p.m. and students need to be here at 5:45 p.m. Students brought home a piece of paper today from our music teacher, Mrs. Drummond explaining what the dress code will be and other details about the program. Since the music program is a jungle theme, students are encouraged to wear brightly colored clothes to the concert.

We also read some more of our Little House on the Prairie book and we worked on our mapping skills during math and social studies. In science, we started learning about the Nervous System and we will continue learning about it tomorrow afternoon.

Looking ahead to Wednesday for the field trip...

As a reminder, the bus will be leaving for the field trip at 8:10 a.m. so your student MUST be here before then. We will not be waiting for students who arrive tardy. Students need to wear comfortable clothes and shoes because we will be hiking all day long. Dress code is the same as it is when we are at Frontier but keep in mind that it will be warm on the trip so dress for the weather. Short-shorts, spaghetti straps, and flip-flops are NOT allowed on the trip. Students need to bring a sack lunch because one will not be provided for them. I suggest that students bring $5-$10 in cash on the trip in case they want souvenirs and so we can stop for ice cream on the way home from the trip. If students would like to bring sunscreen, hats, sunglasses, bug spray, etc. they are responsible for carrying those items during the ENTIRE trip. Chaperones will not be carrying student items.

Wednesday should be a lot of fun and I can't wait to see Makoshika Park!

Homework today is to finish coloring our state maps we started today. Other than that, keep reading at home because most people still need to improve their reading grade. Keep working hard and end the year strong!
