Nature Center Field Trip
On April 7th, first graders will be
taking a field trip to the Nature Center. Here are some details you should be
aware of:
• We
will board the bus at 8:50am and return at 12:45.
• We
will begin a hike or visit the exhibits inside at 9:30.
• We
will eat lunch at the park by the Nature Center.
• Your
child will need a sack lunch from home or a school sack lunch.
• Make
sure your kiddo wears tennis shoes and brings a light jacket.
• Your
child needs to wear their WOHE shirt.
It should be a fun trip full of lots of
learning. Come and enjoy the fun!
Wonder Table
Now that spring has finally arrived, I
would love to update our wonder table.
Keep an eye out for spring time items that we can observe. Your child is
invited to bring in budding flowers, interesting plants, and yes…even insects
(no spiders please)! All I am asking is that you make sure all insects are in a
secure container. We will observe them
and then release them outside. Keep your
eyes open for signs of spring!
