Hello there! We are heading to the NILE tomorrow. What does NILE mean anyways?? Have your child find out using Google and share with you. If they do this, write what it means in the planner for $10 tomorrow.
For the field trip...we will be leaving right away. Kids know not to be late tomorrow. They will need their packed lunches as well. We will not eat lunch at school, so hot lunch will not be offered. If they need something kept cold, please use ice packs. We will not have coolers available to use. Kids MAY bring small electronics to keep them entertained on the bus ride there. They need to leave those in their backpacks at all other times, and they bring them at their own risk. Students may NOT use cameras on the field trip or bus ride. Thank you to Nicolas's mom for volunteering to ride along and help rally the troops tomorrow. I appreciate you!!!!
We will also meet our pen pals from Bitterroot Elementary tomorrow at the NILE. Their class will be there too. Today, kids read descriptions about them and when they heard something that created a connection with them they raised their hands and I assigned them that person to be their pen pal. They will find them tomorrow, greet them, and talk about the connection they had. We will write back and forth throughout the year and hopefully meet up to do some fun things at least once.
Homework tonight is an Author's Purpose review. It is similar to the one we did last week in class. They need to hi-light key words to show evidence for their answers.
We will have PE in the afternoon so please remind kids to bring their shoes.
I think that about sums up the day. Dressing warm with layers would be very wise tomorrow...but as I say daily in class...I can lead a horse to water, but I can't make them drink!!! :0)
