What's Happening in room 5?
Quarter 3
Dear Parents,
It's hard to believe that we are already half way through our school year! I am excited to tell you about our two field trips planned for this spring! We will be going to First Colonial High School on Friday, April 29 to see Cinderella. This is exciting for me because I went to FCHS and I was in drama and my teacher, Mrs. Curtis is still teaching there! On May 18 we will be going to the Children's Museum in Portsmouth. I will need a lot of chaperones for the second field trip. Students have been asking about field trips for a long time.
