15th Feb - Trip to Historic Richmond Town.There we will be learning about 'colonial America', which ties into our 'My country - USA' social studies unit.
We will be having a special workshop there together with 4th grade called 'Fiber to Thread':
This workshop focuses on pre-industrial textile production as students experience for themselves the stages of making flax into linen thread and sheep's wool into woolen thread. Students always enjoy breaking flax, carding wool, and trying out the drop-spindle. A visit to some of the historic buildings allows them to consider the uses and value of cloth in early American communities."
28th Feb - Trip to Central Library
We will be having our own trip together with 4th grade in honor of 'Literacy Month'. A children's librarian will be teaching us and showing us around the library. Then we will have time to browse and choose books.
Some children already gave me their library cards. Please make sure that your child brings in her library card by the day before the trip. We will be allowing each student to borrow 1- 2 books and we will be keeping the receipts to give you as a record. The parents will be responsible to return the books with their child. Please let me know if you do not want your child to borrow books.
