Oct. 2- Oct. 6

Week 7

I can't believe it's already October!! I am looking forward to our field trip this week, enjoy this beautiful fall weather!

Field Trip: Tuesday, October 3
This is our first field trip to the Mt. Hermon Adventure Challenge Course. Mt. Hermon is located in Felton and the course we'll be completing is called Discovery Grove, specifically designed for children ages 7-12. Students need to wear closed toed shoes, pants/ leggings and layered clothing on top. It can tend to be cool when we get there and warm when leave. I will provide snacks for the morning of when we arrive, we should return to school before lunch. 

If you have any questions or concerns please don't hesitate to email me!

I heard a lot of kind and encouraging words this week in our classroom. Students are definitely practicing our class motto:

In this classroom we are real, we make mistakes, we raise hands, we respect property and people, we have fun and we learn!
