As you can see, Hawaii Day was a fun success. Today, we had our practice Evacuation Drill to the off-site location. The kids did Super and we got there and returned safely without any problems. Today our reading kids read chapter 3 of Riding Freedom. Today is the day she escapes from the orphanage. Ask your child what she needs/does to carry out her plan. Have them predict if they think it will work. If they can tell you this and support their prediction, write "plan" for free money. Tomorrow is the day we walk to our off-campus field trip. Remember to bring your $$$$. Also, wear comfy walking shoes. Egg Day is on Friday. I am giving very little detail on this as it is kind of a surprise, but we have talked about it extensively in morning meetings. What the kids need to do to prepare for this is to make a container/ "bed" for their egg. All I can tell you is that they are excited for this!! One last thing: As you saw on the permission slips for the remainder of the year events, we have 2 classroom movies coming up. What Ms. Erickson & I are planning to set up for the movies is a concession stand just like at the real movies. Students will earn free money for bringing items to share with their class. (21 students). Then they will pay fake money to buy things just like at the real movies. This way they can choose from other items rather than just have the one treat they would bring for themself. Does this make sense? Remember it is totally optional as I know it can be costly. Items can be chips, crackers, candy, juice, etc. (make sure it is like Capri Sun, drinks w/o cups to avoid spillage) if you send drinks. Have a great night and keep enjoying this awesome weather.
