It's so hard to believe that this is my last post for this school year! We have a busy week coming up. Thank you for all of the field trip forms, baby pictures, volunteering, donations to the classroom, and everything else that you have given, not just these past few weeks, but this entire year.
I have started collecting items that need to be returned for use next year. Please have your child check at home this week for any items such as social studies books, scissors, or math templates. Also, please be sure to check for any chapter books from any of the fifth grade teacher libraries. We usually use our own money to purchase these books and we need them for future classes.
Monday - Buhr Pool Field Trip - We will be walking to Buhr Pool on Monday. We will leave around 9:30 and return around 3:30pm. This walk is about a mile so the students should be sure to wear comfortable walking shoes. Please send sunscreen along with your child and remind him or her the importance of reapplying sunscreen throughout the time we are there. The students should have a sack lunch with them. There are vending machines available for treats during the time that we are there but this does not replace the need for a lunch. The students will be given a deep end swim test early on when we get there.
- swimsuit and towel
- sack lunch
- comfortable walking shoes
- sunscreen
- money for vending machines (optional)
Tuesday - Dairy Queen - We will be walking to Dairy Queen after lunch on Tuesday. Lunch will be like any typical Tuesday. Everyone will be allowed to purchase 1(one) item at DQ. Most items, up to a medium size, can be purchased for less than $5. If your child is not able to bring money, please let me know and I will be sure that he or she gets a treat. Again, your child should wear comfortable walking shoes.
Wednesday - Rolling Hills Water Park - We will take a bus to Rolling Hills, leaving around 9:30 and returning around 2:30. Students should bring a sack lunch to eat before going into the park. If your child wants to bring a football, frisbee, or something like that, they may. There will be time to play before going in to swim. There is a snack bar at Rolling Hills. Your child may buy a snack to eat at the concession stand during our time there if he or she wishes. There are often long lines for this. Here is a link to the available concessions: http://www.ewashtenaw.org/government/departments/parks_recreation/rollinghills/waterpark/info-pages/concessions
Please be sure to bring:
- swimsuit and towel
- sack lunch
- sunscreen
- money for lockers (optional - students can share these) $.50 for each time it's opened
- money for concession stand (optional)
Promotion rehearsal will take place when we return from the water park.
Thursday - Game Day - On this day students are allowed to bring in hand held devices and play appropriate games. They are responsible for anything that they choose to bring in. This will take place during part of the morning. The promotion ceremony will begin at 2pm in the cafeteria. Please be sure that you do not park in the circle part of the front parking lot. Students may choose to bring a change of clothes so that they have something a little nicer to wear during the promotion ceremony.
Friday - Final Assembly - We will hold our annual end of the year flag ceremony followed by a whole school assembly. School ends at 12:02pm.
