Coming soon to a field trip near you!

Map of Old Sturbridge Village

     This Wednesday, October 24th, our class will have our long-awaited field trip to Sturbridge Village! We are leaving school promptly at 9am, so please be sure to be on time for school that day! We will return to school by 2:45, so students will be in time for the afternoon busses.

     An email went home to parents last week outlining the "must knows" for this trip and a hard copy of that same email will be sent home in Monday's communication folder. Please be sure that your child dresses appropriately for the weather on Wednesday. This trip is rain or shine and we will be spending a lot of time outdoors. Lunches should be entirely disposable (i.e. no lunch boxes or plastic containers) and please do not send any glass bottles with your child. Electronic devices are not allowed on this trip.

     While we are at Sturbridge Village, we hope to see how a community functioned long ago and compare it to how our community functions today. We also hope to see goods and services in action! Talk to your child about what they hope to see on the trip! We have looked at maps of Sturbridge Village in social studies, so the children have some ideas of what we will see there. You can also check out their website at www.osv.org to see pictures of the village, a calendar of events, and take a virtual tour.

   Be on the lookout next week for a post containing picture of our trip! We are excited to learn about how a community works together!
