Field trip:  Our class has the Ronald McDonald House  as its mission. If you are not familiar with this organization.  It is a place where families can stay while their child is receiving care at a local hospital. Our class will either clean some of the apartments where these people stay or do yardwork outside. It is amazing how the students come back feeling quite rewarded for helping out families in dire need.  Our field trip is scheduled for Feb. 3 from 9:30-11:30. 

    You will find the permission slip attached to this letter. Please fill out ALL the sections such as driver’s license, etc if you volunteer to drive. It saves me time.  We will leave the school at 9:00 and return after lunch before 1:00.

State stuff:  At the present time, we are simply gathering up information. Each student has a blue state book and a packet that coincides with the information in the book. Their job is to read the book and apply the information to the packet. I teach how to write each section, so it is best that they don’t work ahead. If they don’t finish a section in class, that is homework.  Presently we have finished the “Introduction”, The Almanac, and History section.  We are also doing mini reports in the computer lab. The Historical Figure page is due on Thursday.The more they know about their state, ahead of time, the  better they will be able to write their report which will begin in Feb. Watch for the information to come.

Mammal Report update: Students chose their 3 top choices for their mammal report. I will verify the mammal is appropriate for our goals for this project. Each student will get their verified choice on Monday. My goals for this project:

• Reinforce  the selection of good websites and information
• Learn more about a mammal they are not currently familiar with
• Build awareness of endangered animals
• Recognize man’s responsibilities as stewards of God’s creation
