Post Halloween Update, Mount Vernon, etc.

Wow!  Good job on the math last night!  The girls were quite surprised to see what you spend on Halloween.  We had a lot of fun exchanging the word problems and finding the class mean, median, and mode for the outlay for candy. Talk about making math real!

Dear Parents,

On Wednesday, November 9, 2016, the Fourthies will tour Mount Vernon, the home of our first president, George Washington.  This is a highlight of our fourth grade curriculum, as we study the lives of presidents throughout the year.  Fortunately, in Virginia, we have several homes from which to choose, but we think this one is truly special and the education center is outstanding.

When:  Wednesday, November 9, 2016

Where:   Mount Vernon

Attire:     Field Trip Uniform and Fourthie hat, jacket appropriate for the weather

Lunch:    We will eat in the cafeteria at Mount Vernon.  There is a Child’s Lunch available for $6.00, which includes chicken nuggets, French fries, Jell-O, and a drink.

Here is the link for the Food Court.

We highly suggest this idea, so we can alert the cafeteria that they will be handling 72 children.  Otherwise, please send around  $12.00 for lunch.

Time:  Please be here by 7:00 A.M.  We will leave promptly at 7:15, so that we will be on time for our reserved tour.

If we don’t encounter problems with traffic, our plan is to be back at school in time for carpool at 3:30.

Thanks so much for your support of our program.

Best,

Pam Roberts
