5th/6th Grade FIELD TRIP
Dear Parents and Students,
The Kimbell Art Museum in Ft. Worth has a special exhibit of Mayan Artifacts! We would like to take the 5th and 6th grade students there on Wednesday, October 13. We will need to leave the school at 7:30, so please plan on getting your child here early that day--we will leave from the front of the building. Mrs. Horner and Mrs. Alwine will be driving, and we will have Ms. Evans with us. We plan on leaving Ft. Worth by 1:30 s0 as to be able to arrive back at school by 4:00. Please plan on picking your child up at 4: 00 that day. They will be in the library with the extended day students, so you will need to come in and get them.
Even though this is a Chapel Day, please have your child wear his or her regular-day school uniform. They will need to bring a sack lunch with a drink or two, and one snack for the afternoon. We will furnish a morning snack. There will be no need for any money unless you would like your child to be able to shop at the Kimbell Gift Shop.
We plan on having the students go first to the Maya Exhibit, where they will look and listen and even draw--they will need to bring a sketchbook. Then, after we eat a picnic lunch on the grounds, we will go back in to view several special pieces in the Permanent Collection. Mrs. Horner and Ms. Evans will discuss these paintings with the students. To check out the Mayan exhibit, click here.
This promises to be a fun and exciting day, and we are looking forward to being at the Museum. Please fill out and sign the permisison slip found at the site below. If you have any questions, please contact Mrs. Alwine or Mrs. Horner.
Thanks!
Jill Horner

COMPUTER
Today in computer class we reviewed the many uses of Excel. We started our ongoing project for the Yum Yum Candy Factory. We created forms in Excel that we will use to help represent surveys that are being done. The kids experienced many of the nervous aspects of computers today. They learned to be calm and overcome them. It so much easier to mess up in a test environment instead of the night before it’s due.
