Mr. B and I should be there from 6-7:30 or so! ;) This week we have been learning a lot and introducing some new content. We are now talking about the world around us in History and we are about to dive into learning the 50 states. I will be sending some helpful resources home so that you can help your child study for their test. They will have a 50 states test before Christmas break. Our SeaWorld field trip is next Tuesday, so get excited for that! Please see additional information for more details that will be helpful! Love in Christ, Mrs. B  Additional Information -The Fall Carnival is coming up and donations to our booth would be greatly appreciated!  Hair spray paint, face paint and materials, face paint stencils, hair accessories (clips, barrettes, hair ties) -SeaWorld field trip! Please refer to the times on the info sheet; we need to be prompt so we can make it to our show on time! Also, kids are to wear FCS shirts (tshirts are fine!) and good walking shoes. Please bring lunches that are non-perishable. The lunches will be put all together in one big cardboard box for each class, and will be stored in a regularly air conditioned room by SeaWorld. Sack lunches are preferred so it’s easier to just throw everything away when the kids are done eating! Also, small snacks may be purchased at SeaWorld, but NO MEALS. If you’re not chaperoning, and want to provide some money for a small snack, please send it in a ziploc bag with your child’s name and I will give it to the chaperone for their group.
