Class Trip November 10

Dear Parent,
We have a great learning opportunity happening Thursday November 10.  Our class will take a field trip to the Jordan Historical Museum.  
The cost is $5.
This field trip is an important part of our Pioneers unit.  The full day program that they run is called “Strict But Nice: A 1908 School day”.  Through role-playing, children will recreate authentic lessons and daily routines experienced by turn of the century students, including the traditional “3 R’s”, a spelling bee, work on slates, penmanship, memory work and traditional games. 
Because the success of “Strict But Nice” stems largely from active role-playing, students are encouraged to prepare simple costumes and historically correct lunches for their visit.  We won’t be able to buy food on site.  Outdoor games will be played  during the day, so they will need to have appropriate clothing.
We will also need to have parent drivers for the day.  We need a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 4 drivers.  Please let me know if you would be available.
In Christ,
Mr. Lee
