Zoo Field Trip

Last Monday - the 4th of Oct., we sent home a note about our zoo field trip coming up on the 26th of Oct. I've received several back - thank you. If you didn't see the note, please check last weeks information and look for the orange note. If you cannot come with us, it is especially important to have a phone number where I can reach you if there is an emergency. If you already have an account with our lunchroom, you do not need to send extra money for lunch. If your child doesn't normally eat school lunch, we would request that they do so for the field trip. It is $1.75. They usually make peanut butter and jam sandwiches and have chips and carrot/celery sticks with juice and a cookie. We request this particular lunch so that we don't have to haul the cooler into the zoo and meet in a certain area for lunch. The chaperons can carry the lunches in a back pack and eat with their group when and where it is convenient for them. We are excited for this trip and hope the weather will hold out. visits this week and have another pet coming on Monday. Thank In the fall, the zoo isn't too crowded.
We enjoyed the kitten's and the dogs'visits this week. Thank you, parents, for sharing with us.
Thanks again for your help in letting your child read to you 20 minutes each day. It really makes a difference if they get that practice.
Hope to see you at the zoo and/or parent/teacher conferences in November.

Our zoo trip is Tues, October 26th. We would love to have parents go with us. But parents may have to furnish their own transportation (you can car pool) and we can't have siblings on the trip. I'm sorry. We will send more information home soon. Please check the weather for that day and have the children dress accordingly.

We are talking about pets next week. If you have a pet that you would like your child to show and tell, please send me a note letting me know when you can bring it. We would need a parent to bring it and to take it home after we've talked about it. The best times would be right after school starts - 8:30 or before lunch - about 11:00 or before school is out - about 3:00. I would like to schedule it somewhat. Even if it took us two weeks to do it. So if you could send a note with your best day and your best time, I would send it back to you. Also, help your child know how you care for their pet and think of things they like to do with the pet. We like our sharing times to be more "Show and Teach" instead of just show and tell.
Thanks,
Mrs. Reeder
