High
Touch High Tech In-Class Field Trip
We
have “High Touch High Tech Science Made Fun” coming to our school for our first
third grade field trip experience of the year. They will be conducting a lesson
for each class individually. Your child’s class will be scheduled on either
Monday, September 30th or Tuesday, October 1st. The lesson is called “Smarty Plants” and it
supports the plants and soils unit that we are exploring this quarter in Science.
The cost of the
experience is $8. Money is due by Friday, September 27th, and it may be paid
in cash, by check, or you may pay online. Checks must be made out to Douglas Elementary School. Online
School Payment (OSP) will be available and can be accessed directly through the
Douglas Elementary School website.
The
school’s field trip budget is tight this year, and the school would welcome any
donations to help cover the cost of students who cannot afford to attend.
We
are allowed to have two parent chaperones attend this wonderful in-school field
trip per class. If you would like to
participate in this experience with us, please let us know by Friday, September
20th. Each classroom teacher
will be doing a drawing in front of their class to be the most fair in
selecting the chaperones. We would love
to have you join us!
Thank you,
The Third Grade Team
Here
is a little excerpt about the trip from the “High Touch High Tech” website:
“Plants are
everywhere around us, but how much do we really know about them? Prepare to get all the seedy facts as we dig
into the fascinating world of botany.
Have FUN as we study the science of soil and find out how delicious dirt
can truly be! Get a hands-on look at
real earthworms, dissect a seed, make and take home a pollen catcher. Build your very own working terrarium to
keep!”
