A Note From Mrs. Waters
We will be going on a field trip to the Museum of Islamic Art on Monday, March 21. the field trip will be a launching event for our next math unit, Geometry. It will also be an integrated experience with art and technology. The students will be looking for geometrical shapes, experiencing and analyzing artwork, and using technology to record and present what they learn. If you are interested in being a parent chaperone for this field trip, please email me. There is a detailed letter about it in your child's home folder along with a permission slip. Please sign and return the permission slip so your child can go on our first grade field trip.
