Dear Parents,

            This week the children will prep for our trip to the Aquarium! We will finish our study of birds and start our unit on flight. We will learn about the Wright Brothers and Vincent van Gogh! Starfall is so wonderful!

            Thank you for all of the wonderful gifts and treats that were brought for our Valentine’s party. I know the students had a great time. I hope they had fun at home reading their cards from their friends. Thank you for your help with those. I know they are a huge undertaking, but they are worth it in the end.

            Our field trip to the Aquarium is FRIDAY! I am happy to say that if it were just our class going on the field trip, the cost would be covered. Thank you for doing everything you could to make this trip happen. We have plenty of chaperones too! I will be sending out chaperone information to my chaperones. Keep an eye out for that pertinent information. We will be wearing our class t-shirts that the school purchased for us. I will simply have each child put the shirt on over their clothes. This will be a great way to quickly and visually identify who belongs in our group. At the end of the day, I will take the shirts back and wash them. We will not be returning to school until 1:30. We will be eating two snacks while we are gone and eating lunch upon our arrival to school. PLEASE BE SURE YOUR CHILD EATS BREAKFAST! Please also send your child in comfortable walking shoes as there is a lot of distance to cover in both buildings. It is supposed to rain on Friday, but please refrain from rain boots as they are not the best walking shoes. It would be wonderful if you could also ensure a good night’s rest on Thursday evening as this trip wears EVERYONE out. This trip might just be my favorite day of the year. I am so excited! It is such a treat!
