Clear Creek Field Trip

On Thursday, May 6th, rooms 202 and 203 will be taking a field trip to Clear Creek State Park. Permission slips were sent home earlier this week. There is a cost of $2 to help cover the transportation. If your child hasn't already returned their permission slip and $2, please have them return it.

Students will need to be at school at 7:30 that day. We will be returning in time for regular dismissal. Students will need to take a lunch. We also ask that you send a complete change of clothes for your child, including shoes. We do a stream exploration activity where the students wade in the creek, and they usually end of getting wet.

Now we just have to hope for a warm, sunny day! Hopefully the weather will cooperate for us.

Wildlife Research Reports

Last week, students began research on their wildlife research report. The outlines with all their information is due on Friday, April 16th. We did a lot of research in class last week, and we will continue to research this week. Rough drafts will be due on Friday, April 23rd. Then students will be publishing their report into a blank hard back book. Their books will be due on Friday, May 7th. The students are very excited about their project and are already learning a lot of interesting information about their animal. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.

PSSA Testing

It is that time of year again! We will begin the PSSA testing on Wednesday. Testing will continue through next Wednesday. We have been preparing very hard for these tests. It is very important that your child is well rested and eats a good breakfast.
