Happy 9th Birthday Adiev!
We had a busy and fabulous day today! After math, we did some grammar and editing practice. The kids and I reviewed some important rules that we will try to infuse in our writing. Before lunch we had some time for Reader’s Workshop and to work on our higher order thinking skills while reading. After lunch we had Spanish, planners, Science experiments, and time to preview our Lansing trip. Finally, we ended the day by celebrating Adiev’s birthday! Happy 9th Birthday Adiev!
Tomorrow is our big trip to Lansing! The kids are so excited about it! I have just a few reminders for you. Our bus will be leaving at 8:30am. It is very important that your child arrive at school on time and use the restroom right away. The kids can bring their coats and lunches straight to the room at 8:20am. Our chaperones will have a meeting in the media center at 8:10am and then we will walk out to the bus together. Students are more than welcome to bring electronics and books to keep them busy while on the long bus ride. You will just want to remind your child that he/she is responsible for these items. Everyone should bring a snack for the bus as well as a sack lunch to enjoy midday. We will leave Lansing at 1:00pm and will return to BCS at the end of the day!
Lansing Check List:
--Eat a good breakfast but don't drink too much! (It's a long ride and we aren't planning bathroom stops. This one is for moms and dads and our morning coffee too!)
--Pack a healthy lunch, at least 2 snacks, and a drink. (NO NUTS!!) Use disposable containers, please.
--You will carry your own food, drink, and book/DS/iTouch/camera. As always, you bring things at your own risk. Every child is responsible for his/her own belongings.
