Quarter 3, Week 3

Hello Families! 

I hope that this long R & R weekend treats you well! My weekend plans include lots of reading, family time, home projects, and hopefully a hike on Monday! This upcoming week is short, but jam-packed! Kicking it off is the first field trip of the year, and the students all seem very excited, as am I!

What's going on in 4A
  • A few last minute notes about the field trip:
    • We will be leaving Tuesday morning by 8:30 and returning by noon. We will eat lunch at school when we return. We will continue with regular lessons Tuesday afternoon. 
    • Students have been told they are permitted to bring a camera or device for taking pictures, but they should not use that device for anything other than taking pictures. If they are using it for anything other than taking pictures I will take it and they will get it back at the end of the day. They will be responsible for keeping track of anything they bring with them. Students may bring a small bag/backpack/fanny pack to carry with them. 
    • There is a gift shop and students may bring money to spend there if they wish. Any money brought or items purchased is the responsibility of the student, not teachers or chaperones. 
  • We are running low on tissue boxes. Any donations are appreciated. 
  • We still have spots open in a number of our spring clubs. Below is a list of clubs with spots still available. Please go to ArchwayArete.Configio.com to register for clubs!
