Dear Parents,
The weather for our trip to Merck Forest looks to be a bit on the damp side. However, neither a real downpour nor cold temps are in the forecast. The fifth graders seemed willing to brave the elements. Unless the conditions really deteriorate, I think we should stick with the plan and dress/pack accordingly. It will be important to pack sleeping bags in waterproof (garbage) bags. I’ll be able to drive the sleeping bags, food, and other necessities into the campsite. I expect students to carry a light backpack holding clothes, raincoat, etc.
With poor weather in mind, is there a parent chaperone willing to forgo hiking (in the rain) on Friday and take on the alternative task of driving the bulk of our gear out of the campsite in the morning? Please let me know.
With the 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students out on trips this week, the class schedule has been moved about some. Tomorrow, the fifth grade will have art, French, recorder and PSD. Tonight’s homework consists of recorder practice, a short reading and spelling assignment, and trip preparations. Having finished the first chapter in Chicago Math last Friday, we stepped out of the text this morning and worked with manipulatives to solve simple linear equations. We’ll continue this investigation through Wednesday. There is no math homework tonight.
