Hill Aerospace Museum Field Trip: 
Our final off site field trip is Friday, May 24th from 9:35am-1:15pm to the Hill Aerospace Museum.  Please have your student wear their white or blue uniform shirt for this field trip.  They will need to bring a sack lunch from home as no school lunch will be available and it needs to be completely disposable-   If your student will be purchasing a school sack lunch, please indicate on the above Google Form your students choices (this need to be done by Friday.) 

We will be leaving the school promptly at 9:30am directly after the year end talent show and returning to the school by 1:15pm.  If you are able to chaperone the field trip please email Mrs. Nelson asap to get on the list-and if you signed up at the beginning of the year to chaperone this field please also email Mrs. Nelson. I am working on our field trip groups and need to know who will be available to chaperone.  Please email Mrs. Nelson if you can help or plan on attending the field trip.

Moon Journal

Screen Shot 2015-10-08 at 9.50.12 AMYour child will be given a “Moon Journal” to keep in their green folders from now until May 23rd, so they will be able to observe the moon either during recess or at home and draw an accurate picture of the shape of the moon they saw that day.  This should give the kids a chance to see the moon as it goes through all of its phases (full, three quarter, half, crescent, and new).  Undoubtedly there will be some cloudy days that prevent them from seeing the moon, so they can either draw clouds or visit the following website which displays the phase of the moon according to your location/time zone:  http://www.moonpage.com/index.html
Here’s another great link to see when the moon is rising, setting, and which phase it is in:  Moonrise, moonset, and moon phases

This is an important part of the 1st grade science curriculum so thanks for your help and encouragement!
