June 19 field trip

I am calling out to all parents who would be willing to volunteer on June 19 for our Mitford Pond Wetland study. You would be needed from 10:15 to noon. Only for a short time, but the appreciation we would feel would be endless! Please contact me if this is a possibility for you! I hope to talk to you soon!

Field Trip-Fish Creek Park

Tomorrow (June 12) is our exciting field trip to Fish Creek Park!! All of our students and parent volunteers need to be here about five minutes before bell time (8:05) as we have to drive away at 8:10. We will be having a fun filled adventure lead by Sue from the archeology department at U of C. It should be tons of fun! We should arrive back at Mitford no later than 2:30pm. I would like to thank all parents who volunteered for this trip. I look forward to having you there and getting to know you better. If you have any questions about additional details, please feel free to contact me. Thanks! See you there!

LA

Just a little update about what is going on in LA. Right now we are all reading some awesome Eric Wilson mystery novels. As we read within our groups, we are completing a variety of question sheets and activities about what we have just read. This unit is very intriguing and gives the students a chance to work at their pace within a group of peers. Parents be prepared. The unit ends off with a large project that the students will have to complete and hand in. Projects may vary but the due date will be posted shortly.

We have just finished our amazing weather unit and are about to begin Wetlands!!!! Each student recieved a study guide for their weather exam and hopefully studied very hard as I made sure it directly followed the exam!!!
