Dear Parents,
We have added an additional field trip to this year's curriculum. This was not covered by the budget request submitted by the 5/6 team last year. Additionally, the cost of district buses has nearly doubled this year, significantly increasing our transportation expense for field trips. To help cover the cost of this additional trip, we are requesting that each student bring in $6. I will cover the rest of the expense from my classroom budget. On November 14th, my class will have a guest speaker from the DMNS who will teach us more about the rainforest and bring in samples for students to experience. In the afternoon, each student will receive and paint a Mayan artifact. I am excited about this individualized learning experience for my class. Please contact me directly if you cannot cover the $6, and we will make other arrangements. Thanks for your support!
Mrs. Westdyke
