Home Depot Field Trip
    We are going to try and conclude our tree and wood unit next week with a field trip to Home Depot.  The children will be able to attend a children’s workshop and tour the facility.  The field trip will take place next Tuesday, December 17th.  We will leave school at 12:40 and return by 2:45.   I am so sorry for the last minute notice.  I have been trying contact the person in charge at Home Depot since the beginning of November.  They had a change over which caused the delay.  We are going to need drivers.  If we are unable to secure enough drivers, we will have to cancel.  So if you can find time to attend, that would be wonderful.  It is a fun field trip for the children, and there is no cost.  We use the items the children make as part of their Christmas gifts for their parents.  We call it our elf workshop field trip.
 Thank you for the consideration, Ms. Joan
