Our field trip is fast approaching! It will be the Monday we return from Spring Break. Please make sure your child arrives on time for school (7:40am or earlier). Students will begin using the restroom and prepping for the trip after announcements. The goal is to be on the bus and departing 8:30-8:45ish. We will spend 1 1/2 hours at the farm. I have never been but have heard great things. We will see cows, possibly taste some milk, and go on a hay ride.
This trip connects to our animals and parents/offspring unit. It also connects to our project based learning activity. Each grade level has a project they are working on from March-May. Each PBL begins with a driving question. Our question is "How do animals and plants live?". This field trip will provide us with more information.
We will be eating lunch in the classroom when we return. A yogurt pack is one of the options for lunch. Lunch will be much later than we are used too. Students will eat around 12 depending on when we leave the farm. This is an hour past our regular time, and students will not be having a snack on the trip. Please make sure they have a filling breakfast (I know it will be hard to get up!). After lunch, students will have specials and then write in their journal about the field trip. Special thanks to Marla and Juanita for volunteering to go with us!
Reminders
- Wear long pants (It's best for the hayride.)
- Wear tennis shoes.
- Apply sunscreen before arriving to school if desired.
- Eat a big breakfast.
See everyone Monday!
