We will be doing a walking field trip tomorrow to the Post Office and Subway Wednesday, Dec. 3 at 11:45 am. Students will need to bring money for Subway or they can just bring a bag lunch if they want.
Please dress for walking in the cold. Good shoes and warm clothes.
We are walking to the Post Office Wednesday to mail a variety of letters. Some of the students did not know their mailing addresses. Can you please help write your P.O. Box # in their planners?
This Wednesday, Dec. 3 the class will be taking part in a walking field trip to the Post Office to mail our letters to Santa and to the famous person of their choice.
We will also be stopping at Subway for lunch. Students have to bring their own money for a kid’s meal. They can also choose to just bring a bag lunch if they want. We will be leaving the school near the end of our regular lunch break to avoid the lunch rush with high school students.
This will also depend on weather, it’s supposed to be sunny with possible showers.
The students have been writing a variety of letters, the latest is their letters to Santa. We will be mailing them Wednesday. I have asked all students to have their parents help edit their rough copies. Please initial the rough copy after editing and remind your child to bring the letter Tuesday to write their good copy.

The latest round of book orders is due Wednesday, Dec. 3.
If you want to order something as a Christmas present for your child, just put your order in an envelope and mark Christmas Presents on the order form, with your name & phone number so we can call when the items arrive. We will not give the items to your child.
We built pop bottle rain gauges in Science today. About half the students, brought in a 2 liter pop bottles, so we worked with partners. I did send the instructions home with all students if you decide you want to participate.
Please set up the Rain Gauges in your yard Friday evening. roughly dinner time. The students need to record the amount of rain every day around the same time to see what the rain accumulation is for each 24 hour period.
They should have a record sheet to record their daily recording. If they forgot it, basically write down the date, time, and amount of rain each day.
The pop bottles have a measurement gauge in increments of 5 mm. Students may need some help estimating the amount. We did talk about how to estimate approximately, but a few were having difficulty with that concept. If you have a shorter plastic ruler that you could tape to the side of the bottle, that may make the measurement easier.
