Christmas Time Fun Week – Dec. 13-17th
4th Grade Field Trip to Plantation Pines Christmas Tree Farm
4th Grade PLANTATION PINES CHRISTMAS TREE FARM FIELD TRIP!!
When: Monday, December 6th (we will be leaving at 8:45 am)
Where: 10098 CR 429, Tyler, TX 75704
Cost: $8 per student (Please send this by Friday, December 3)
What does a farm fun day look like?
The Plantation Pines field trip is from 10:00-12:15! During that time we will have groups split up and enjoy a storytime, hayride in the field, and games! Each station will be 25 minutes long with a 5 minute transition to allow us to sanitize after each group. We will have a picnic lunch and play on the playground.
Due to the safety of the children while on the farm, some parents may be asked to walk to the field, or sit on the floor on the hayride.
There is no charge for teachers or parents who come along to help supervise.
DO-OVER MONDAY: Dress Like a StoryBook Character
Great News!!
We have rescheduled our Storybook Character Dress Up Day for Monday, November 1st. This is not a party day but students will celebrate reading and books by dressing up as a favorite book character. Students will be allowed to wear “dress code appropriate” costumes to school. Students ARE NOT permitted to wear face or hair paint, blood or gore on costumes, or have scary masks and props. We want this to be a fun day for students, but we must keep it safe and appropriate for our youngest students.
