Our schedule is bonkers. The end. No, but seriously, Monday and Tuesday we will not be switching classes due to STAAR testing. The afternoons are filled with lunch, specials, recess, and a read aloud both days.
On Thursday and Friday we have two field trips.
Thursday's is a walking field trip to Bear Lake. Thank you to all of you who agreed to chaperone. I'm guessing we will be leaving between 9 and 9:30, as the activities begin at 9:30. There will be teachers from Keep Austin Beautiful to teach the classes in groups at various stations. If you offered to chaperone, please meet us there or plan to walk with us from the foyer of the school. You'll need good walking shoes and a water bottle. Hats, sunglasses, and sunscreen are all fine.
Friday's trip is an art field trip to Umlauf Gardens. I'm told the kids will get a chance to sketch some art with Mr. Mader on this trip. We will load the buses at Baldwin at 9:15, planning to arrive at Umlauf and begin promptly at 10:00. If you are chaperoning, again, thank you! Please meet us there (or follow the buses).
That leaves Wednesday. Mrs. Spencer and I plan to keep our regular schedule that day to put a bit of normalcy back into the week. :) We will be doing a variety of activities, mostly surrounding Reconstruction after the Civil War.
Please check the Upcoming Dates as often as you need, as I will update any changes as I know of them.
To all the mothers out there, Happy Mother's Day this Sunday! I hope your kids spoil you rotten!
