Important Information for Wednesday’s Field Trip

  • Due to powers beyond our control, Wednesday is going to be cold and snowy. Love this fickle Utah weather!
    • Please make sure your child is dressed appropriately. We recommend layers, a coat with a hood, umbrella, etc.
  • If you will be joining us as a chaperone, please support your teachers by being positive and understanding with the weather conditions and museum policies.
    • There is NO food allowed nor space for field trip guests to eat in the Museum including the Discovery Garden, the lobby or café.  There are a few picnic tables and grass area across the parking lot in front of the Museum that you may use.  Please bring your own garbage bags and “leave no trace behind” when cleaning up. 
    • Because of the weather, we are encouraging students to have a snack (or part of their lunch) on the front runner on the way there and then finish on the way back, depending on the actual weather conditions.
  • All students will need to meet at the Roy Front Runner Station no later than 8:15.   We will then board the train and ride to Thanksgiving Point.
  • We will be walking from the station to the museum. It is about a 15-20-minute walk (half mile). Please wear shoes and clothing you can walk in.
  • We will board the Front Runner and return to the Roy Station at 4:15.

Please make note of the late arrival! You need to be at the station NO LATER than 4:15. Arrange carpool if necessary.

Poetry
**Update** Everyone has passed off at least one poem! Way to go!!!
This month I am asking students to memorize at least one of the attached poems to be performed in front of the class before April 1st. This is a great opportunity to work on our fluency, phrasing, and performing skills. We will be doing a class musical in May and this will serve as an audition of sorts. Students are welcome to memorize and perform as many poems as they would like. I will be paying class money for each successfully performed. I will be sending home a hard copy with each student. Feel free to click on the link March Poems or the picture to view online.

Field Trip Tomorrow

We are so excited to head out on our first 3rd grade field trip tomorrow!  Just wanted to post about some important things to remember.
  • Please be at school ON TIME because we will load the bus promptly at 8:30 AM.  If you are late, we cannot wait for you, as we have an appointment 
  • Students need to bring a backpack to carry their lunch, water bottle and jacket. Students can also pack a book, game, etc…
  • In regards to lunches, there will not be a microwave, so they need to bring something that can be eaten cold.
  • Students need to wear school uniforms.
  • Please do not send money with students.  They do not need to purchase anything there.
  • Students can bring devices if parents allow it, but we are not responsible for lost or stolen property.
  • Parents can drive their child to and/or from the Aquarium, but need to let me know and sign them out (with me) before you leave at the end of the day.

Aquarium Permission Slip

Aquarium Permission Slip
We are so excited for our last field trip this year. We are going to the Living Planet Aquarium in Draper on Tuesday, May 8th.

 The plans for the trip are as follows:

  • All students will need to meet at the Roy Front Runner Station no later than 8:15. We will then board the train and ride to Draper. A bus will meet us there and shuttle us to the aquarium.
  • At the aquarium, we are scheduled for a half-day learning adventure and then we will have a short time to explore and eat lunch.
  • We will then shuttle to the station and board the Front Runner and return to the Roy Station at 4:16. You will need to pick you child up from the Roy Station.

The cost of the aquarium is usually around $15 for children and $18 for adults so we are ecstatic to say that the cost of this fieldtrip has been donated by POQA! These funds were made possible by the generous donations from parents! If you, as a parent, would like to go with us, you are more than welcome to. The cost of the trip for parents is $15, which will cover the cost of your admission into the aquarium, your Front Runner ticket, and the shuttle bus to the aquarium.

 With the nature of this field trip, we are only allowing parents to attend with us and all parents will be responsible for a small group of children. Please make other arrangements for ALL other siblings.  

 If you would like to go with us, please sign the note at the bottom of the page and return it WITH your payment by Tuesday, May 1st. No money will be accepted after this date. Those who do not pre-sign up will need to pay full admission price at the aquarium that day.
