Here is the upcoming week in a nutshell:
On Wednesday, we will be taking a field trip to Downers Grove as part of our Social Studies unit about our city. The field trip is scheduled from 9:30 am until 2 pm. Everyone will eat at Giordano's restaurant (please send a cold lunch if your child did not sign up for a pizza lunch). If you would like, though it is not necessary, students can also bring $5-$8 in cash on the day of the field trip. This money can be used to spend at any of the downtown Downers Grove shops. Each student will be responsible for their own money. I have all my volunteers to come on the field trip with me. I will be sending more information to my chaperons on Monday.

Science
This week, we will discuss the moon and it's phases. Look for the moon journal your child will be bringing home.
