Looking Ahead

The end of the year is upon us! With my due date being May 11th I want to take care of a few things ahead of time. My long term sub will be in the first week of May to watch how I run the classroom. She will then take over that second week. She is AWESOME and is actually going to be a teacher here next year at Quest. 

We have our last field trip planned for May 16th from 9am-1pm. We will be going to the Hill Aerospace Museum. This is a fun experience and the kids love it. We get to do a work shop and do a scaventure hunt while there. 

Please sign below if you would like to participate. I am looking for as many volunteers that want to come because I will not be able to be there. My long term sub will and the more help we can give her the better. If you have questions feel free to email me. Please sign up quickly so I can get groups figured out by the middle of April.
