Tuesday
We have a special guest speaker joining us on Tuesday to discuss nutrition with our students. Our school received a grant that includes locally grown fresh produce in our cafeteria along with this presentation. We are excited to share this opportunity with our students. We have noticed many of them bringing large bags of chips for lunch and snacking on candy throughout the day, despite our "healthy snacks only" policy. We hope the information will encourage our students to have a healthier approach to their diets.
Wednesday
On Wednesday, we will be heading to Hagg Lake to release the baby trout, or fry, we have been "growing" in our hallway. We spent a couple of weeks learning about the life cycle the trout during ELD and are excited to see the little guys enter their new habitat. If you would like to volunteer for this trip, we will be leaving after lunch (11:10) on Wednesday and will return to the school in time for early dismissal (1:50).
Thursday
Finally, on Thursday, we have a full day (8:30-2:00) field trip planned for the Tillamook Forestry Center. This year the students will be participating in a new interpretive program that we are excited to see. This continues to be one of my favorite trips of the year, even after five years of visits! Parents are still needed for this trip. If you would like to chaperon, we recommend that you and your student drive your own vehicle. Our bus will be crowded (three to a seat!) and the trip is twisty. Please send an email to Ms. Kinsman if you are interested in helping out (kinsmanl@hsd.k12.or.us).
Thank you so much for keeping up with our classroom happenings. We will be posting some more information about our new Kindles later in the week. We need some pictures to show off our new technology!
