  • Wednesday Field Trip Information

    December 17, 2024

    Dear Families,

    Tomorrow is the much anticipated Tech Museum Field trip! Please read and have your child follow these important guidelines to ensure your child has the best trip possible:

    • Wear a Reed T shirt as well as warm pants and outerwear and comfortable shoes. 
      • The Reed T Shirt will make it easier to find your child in a crowd.
      • Students will be doing a lot of walking.
      • It will be cold outside but pretty warm inside-dress your child in layers.
    • Lunches from home need to be in paper bags, please.
      • Parent chaperones will be carrying student lunches in tote bags, and lunch boxes will be too large and heavy.
    • Go to the bathroom BEFORE SCHOOL.
      • We will not have time in the morning before boarding the bus to let students go.
      • They will have to wait until they get to the Tech museum.
    • Please arrive to school on time.
      • The bus is leaving at 9:15 sharp!
      • We need to get lunches organized and groups together before we walk to the bus as a class.

    I searched the Internet and found some websites with book lists for those kids entering Third Grade this Fall. Click on the links below and look over the lists. If you don’t see books you think sound good, follow my “Safe Search” guidelines to look up your own!
