Field Trips and Ellis Island Day

Hey All, 

Just wanted to let you know that our field trip to Old World will be rescheduled from June 2nd to June 5th, due to scheduling issues on Old World's end.  I will send home a note with the 4th graders today explaining the change so you can change it on your calendars.  

Also, next week, May 9th, the 4th graders will be participating in Ellis Island day.  It is a half day simulation which takes them through an experience similar to what it may have been like at Ellis Island (or as similar as we can make it :) )  We are looking for volunteers to help us make this experience great.  If you or anyone you know  (grandparents, aunts, uncles, neighbors) would be willing to come spend the afternoon of Friday the 9th of May with us, we would greatly appreciate it!

This Friday is our trip to the Waterloo Trailhead.  The weather looks iffy, but I think the plan is to go rain or shine.  Please remind your child to dress appropriately for the weather :)

Hope all is well with anyone, please let me know if there is anything you need from me!

Field Trip Pictures

Sorry for the delay but I wanted to share with you some pictures from our field trip last month! We had a blast :)

After a fantastic performance at MATC by the WI Symphony Orchestra we went to the Kohl Center.  We got a full backstage tour!



Afterwards, we took a walk around the Capitol!


Finally, we ended our day at the Veteran's Museum

Recently we watched Kid President's video "Kid Presidents letter to babies on their first day here"




At the end of the video he asks us to give advice too under #thekidsneedtoknow

So we made this video with the things we think are most important.
