Expedition kick-off!

Good evening! This school year is flying by! Once we have in all the consent forms for photo rights, I will be posting pictures of your child's learning. We just kicked off our first expedition today: "Are we missing the boat? This expedition will focus in the tourism, attractions, and development between the two countries. We have a lot of fun and exciting things planned! Ask your child what they learned today! We are finishing up our first unit in Math and encourage you to use our links posted on the "homepage" for additional resources to help your child at home.
We have kicked off our school recycling program. This year, we will be collecting both paper and recyclables such as soda cans and water bottles. The homeroom who has the most will be rewarded with a pizza party during Fun Friday.
Next week we will be attending our first field work visit to Niagara Falls to take a close look at US and Canada. We will be visiting both the Cave of the Winds and the Maid of the Mist. Your child must display positive behavior in school and on the bus. They must also exhibit excellent work habits and turn in any work owed in order to attend. This field work will focus on our first expedition. Proper code of conduct must be adhered to. (see school manual) The cost of field work is $5 per student and lunch will be provided. Make sure that the money is turned in no later than 9/14 in order to attend. Please send in an appropriate change of clothes with your child. Thanks for your cooperation! :)
