Dear Parents,
This Tuesday will mark the beginning of ITBS Testing. We will test every morning for the duration of this week and next, ending our testing on October 7th. Please make sure your child gets a good night’s sleep, has a healthy breakfast and arrives to school on time every morning. As always, we plan to put forth our very best efforts.
In more news, I will not be in this Friday, October 1st as well as Monday, October 4th. I will be out of town. We have already arranged to have a highly qualified substitute teacher for those two days.
In recent weeks, I have been making arrangements for this year’s field trips. As of now, we have two scheduled. On Wednesday, November 17th our class will be visiting the Ty Warner Sea Center in Santa Barbara. We will enjoy both a guided tour of the touch tanks as well as some hands-on science experiments geared to meet our third grade science standards. Later, on May 11th, we will be taking a trip to the Underwood Family Farms where students will enjoy an afternoon learning about our local agricultural resources and then picking some veggies and strawberries to take home. More specific information is to follow on both these trips and others.
