Our Field Trip to the State Fair is Monday, September 30th. Please arrive at school by 7:15 A.M. We plan on leaving by 7:30. We should arrive back to school by 5:00 P.M. On a positive note, there will be NO homework. I still have a few students that have not paid or turned in their permission slip. If this is you, please turn it in as soon as possible. Students are going to receive their yellow Holy Cross field trip tee-shirts this week. Students need to wear them on Monday– it makes them easier to keep up with in the crowd. A Holy Cross fleece or sweatshirt may be needed. Students may wear jeans or khakis for pants or shorts. Wear comfortable shoes! Pack breakfast foods and/or a snack and drink for the ride to Richmond. If the students want, they may bring cameras, sunglasses, and/or hats. They will be responsible for any of these items that they bring. You may want to bring an empty cinch bag (backpack) into the fair to put things in as we collect things throughout the day. You may also want to pack a snack in it if you want to save money at the fair. We will be eating lunch at the fair, so plan to bring additional money for lunch and snacks, maybe around $15.00. Because of safety and insurance concerns, no Holy Cross students will be allowed to get on any rides! Students will be allowed to bring books, games, electronic devices, etc. for the trip as long as they have HEADPHONES. Students will be responsible for their own possessions on the trip. Our class will plan to stay together for the educational tour during the morning, and we will then separate into groups to pursue individual interests throughout the afternoon. The chaperone per group will then be responsible for the students in each group. We will be leaving the fair around 2:30 p.m. and returning to school close to 5:00 p.m. Please be at school around 5:00 P.M. For information on the State Fair go to www.statefairva.org Friday is green and white day! Wear as much green and white as you can to show your support for Holy Cross! We will have a Pep Rally at 2:15 in the gym. Religion: We are still learning and studying the Ten Commandments. A test on Chapter 4 will be on Friday. We start Science on Monday. Our first Science chapter is about matter. Reading: We will be working on Text Features in Nonfiction books. Vocabulary: We start Unit 3 on Monday. We will not have a test this week. It will be Friday, October 4th. Students can practice on www.vocabularyworkshop.com. We are finishing English Chapter 4, Predicates. We are having a quiz on Tuesday and then we will Chapter 5, Simple and Compound Sentences. We have a college student from Liberty University who is studying education visiting our classroom once a week. After being with us for a few weeks, she will teach a Math lesson to the students. We look forward to having her work with us and seeing our great Holy Cross students in action. Sign your child’s graded papers and return them in the green folder. I will keep these papers and collectively return them after our first report card. If you have any questions, please let me know. Many Blessings, Mrs. Rony Mrsronysclassroom.com
