Chaperones:
Here’s the scoop on what you need to know:
The bus is scheduled to leave Workman at 9:30. All students ride the bus to Greenfield Village. Feel free to follow the bus and even carpool with other parents. If it is easier, you can meet us right at the Village. Just let me know if you are going straight to the Village.
When we arrive at the village, I’ll give you the tickets for you and the students in your group. Feel free to buddy up with another group if you wish.
This trip is self-guided. I'll have a map for you with your tickets, but it is up to you what you want to cover.
Bring a bag lunch. There are plenty of places for you to enjoy a picnic lunch with your group.
There is a snack bar and a gift shop. Kids were told they could bring money, but it is the kids’ responsibility.
Meet back at the fountain at 1:30, so that we can load the buses to be back on the road by 1:45. You can take your child home with you in your car if you wish - you just need to sign them out with me!
My phone number is 810-522-8153 in case of emergency while we are on the trip!
Curriculum
5th grade - by Wednesday kids need to upload a digital picture of themselves or a small group of freinds (no more than 3 total) to their google drive for a project we are working on for graduation!
Writing- Summer Bucket lists! The kids and I are working on a list of 10 different things we want to do this summer! I love their ideas!
Math -
4th - Kids are just starting unit 11 - this unit is all about volume and capacity!
5th - We are just finishing unit 11. This unit was all about volume, capacity and surface area. These were tough skills to get through. Check with your child to see how they are doign with them.
Science -
4th - Today the kids got their review for their science testThursday. Here is the review with answers! Our new batch of plants are growing! We might have green thumbs after all!
5th grade- Human Body - Kids explored the respiratory system this week. On Wednesday, Mrs. Sengstock came in and did a dissection of a sheep pluck (trachea, lungs, and heart). The kids loved it! Check out some pics below!
Social Studies -
4th - Hopefully mini-society projects are well into production! Their protypes were amazing and the kids got some great feedback from their peers.
5th - This week we discussed the different perspectives on the Revoluationary War events. Kids looked at key events through the eyes of a loyalist and a patriot. We found that they had very similar feelings and that the revolutionary war cause many families and friendships to be split between the two sides. Your kiddo is bringing home an accrostic poem they wrote about the war....they are amazing! I asked the kids to consider donating to me for a sample if they didn't want to keep theirs.
