We will be doing some apple tasting in class this week and graphing the results, yumm! Please note the dates to save on the calendar in the upcoming weeks!

Field Trip: Tuesday, October 3
Mark your calendar, this will be our first field trip to the Mt. Hermon Adventure Challenge Course. A permission slip went home in your child's Student Planner on Friday, please return it as soon as you can. If you would like to drive please notify me on the bottom portion of the slip. We will also be sending home a release form for the course itself, we'll need to have those in hand the day of the field trip. Mt. Hermon is located in Felton and the course we'll be completing is called Discovery Grove, specifically designed for children ages 7-12. If you have any questions or concerns please don't hesitate to email me! 
Please sign and return the waiver for Mt. Hermon, sent home in Friday folders! I will notify drivers and chaperones this week, please make sure you have updated information regarding insurance and background check in the office!
