We had indoor recess several days this week which makes for a very "busy" afternoon! And kiddos are coming to school with big, red bug bites! Nurse Shelley has something miraculous that she puts on that seems to make the itching go away!
On June 9th our class will travel to the Audubon Center in Huntington for a program called Wetland Explorations. Our class, along with Mrs. McGuire's class, will leave school at 8:30 and return by 11:30 which means the kids will be having lunch here at school. As the name implies, we'll be outside in the WETlands! If your child has rubber rain boots (or can borrow a pair from a friend) that would be best! If not, an extra pair of sneakers with dry socks would work. They will likely need bug spray and possibly sunscreen...keep your fingers crossed that it isn't raining because we go rain or shine! (Anyone want to volunteer for this trip?) I'll send you more details next week so you'll know exactly what to pack. We really would love volunteers, so if you'd like to spend a few hours out by the pond with a bunch of curious first graders, please let me know!
Our farm unit is drawing to a close and the kids are dying to bring the farms home. We have a few more farm activities and I'll begin by sending home a folder with all of their payment sheets (I know you'll be surprised to hear that farm land in "Hinesville" only costs $10 a square!) Please ask your child all about the farm and the animals they learned about...cows, chickens, goats, horses, sheep and pigs. It's been a really fun unit and I'm sad to see it come to an end!
Have a great weekend!
