Field Trip Tomorrow!!!

Yes, tomorrow we are going on our Arbor Day Field Trip to Riverfront Park.  Everyone gets to go as they bought in with $500 fake money so that means they must be making positive choices!!!  :)
We are leaving right at 8:30 so students need to arrive to school on time or they will miss the bus and not be allowed to go.  We need to be there by 8:45 to be ready for station rotation at 9:00.  Students will be rotating to different stations before lunch and then after lunch, they will be planting trees.
We have talked about expectations for this day as a whole group, but would love for you to discuss it at home again with your child.  If you do, write discussion in the planner.  We talked about using positive character by maintaining a positive attitude, doing what is asked & expected, listening to speakers and adults in charge, no running around and acting immature, etc.  They also are award of the fact that if they can't prove they can maintain themselves here, going to Pompey's Pillar may NOT be an option for them.  I know they will all do well and have a great, fun, educational day.  The one thing we won't have on our side is the weather.  So again they have been reminded to dress for the weather.  Warm clothes, rain coats ( not sure they will have the ability to carry umbrellas or not) if they need to be using their hands and the umbrellas being in the way because they sit too high.  They can bring them and we will leave them on the bus if we can't have them or if we don't need them.  Let's hope.  Also, they need to have comfortable walking shoes-no flip flops.  Bring your sack lunch if you are and Ms. Becky will have your school sack lunch ready for you if you ordered one.  They will be supplying water bottles for us.
As you can see, we enjoyed our owl pellet dissection today.  We found all kinds of bones.  They had a sorting chart to use to sort their bones to see what it is that their owl ate.  Lots of rodents were consumed!!!!
We will be back in time for Library tomorrow so bring those books.
Have a great night.
