We will be creating our own Box City as a class!
Please have your First Grader bring in one box the size of a shoe box or a cereal box.
Each student will select the building they want to design and create for the city. They will create a blueprint, and then apply their knowledge of 2D and 3D shapes, and measurement, addition, and subtraction skills to create their building.
Thank you,
Mrs. Gray
Yesterday, a field trip permission slip was sent home and I wanted to reach out and give you some additional information:
All students must have a permission slip turned in to go to the zoo with us. Please pay for the trip on the school portal as no cash will be taken. If you have trouble or need help, please contact Christina Ferguson at the front desk and she can walk you through it.
If you would like to be a chaperone, mark the spot on the slip. Expectations of a chaperone:
Chaperones will complete a background check.
Chaperones will help with all students, not just your own.
Chaperones will drive to the zoo on their own and meet us there.
Chaperones may not bring other family members along.
Chaperones may not take their child home from the zoo. All children need to ride the bus home.
If you check the chaperone on the slip, a background check will be sent home with your child and I will be in touch with you.
If you have additional questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to me.
Thank you,
Sara Gray
