Important Camp Information

Hi Parents! 

I can't believe it is already time to start getting ready for fifth grade camp. I have put together a checklist of suggested items that are helpful to have at camp. Please review these lists with students and help them prepare for this exciting week! 

Students will be given their camp groups and schedule the Friday before camp. Let me know if you have any questions or concerns after reading this list.

What to wear: (Label Everything)

• ·      Dress for the weather, dress in layers, the mornings are typically cool and afternoons warm
• ·      Put sunscreen and bug spray on BEFORE leaving your house. (No bug spray is allowed at camp and it gets buggy in the woods.)
• ·      A hat if you want
• ·      Sneakers (You need these to go in the woods and play sports, wear them every day)
• ·      Sweatshirt (It can get cold in the woods)

What to bring: (Label everything)

• ·      Your lunch if you are bringing (Snack is provided to all students everyday, Lunch is provided to all students on Friday)
• ·      Water bottle
• ·      Your bathing suit every day (If you have swimming first block you should come wearing your swimsuit,  a one piece suit is not required, but is recommended as students will wear them on the zip line.)
• ·      Towel (everyday)
• ·      Sandals/Flip Flops for water activities (Wear sneakers and change at camp)
• ·      Your schedule (I will give it to you Monday morning and you will keep it for the rest of the week.)
• ·      Plastic bag for your wet bathing suit and towel
• ·      Sunscreen (No sprays please)
• ·      A large bag to put your back pack in if it is raining (All belongings are kept outside and will get wet if it rain)
•      A raincoat or poncho in case it rains. Keep one in your bag every day just in case.
•       An extra sweatshirt in case one gets wet.

Things to remember:

• ·     You will travel to school the way you normally do and switch to a camp bus at Crisafulli. After you get off the camp bus find Ms. Moores to check in and get your badge. At the end of the day turn your badge back in to Ms. Moores. (This is how we do attendance so it is important to check in at )
• ·     Show respect to all teachers, peers, and parent volunteers at ALL TIMES. You all signed a behavior contract, please keep that in mind as you move from station to station.
• ·     Use water for drinking only; it is against camp rules to squirt water bottles at each other.
• ·     You will travel to activities with your group. You must stay with your group and adult leader at all times.
• ·     Get to know students from other schools who are traveling with you.
• ·      Raincoat (Everyday!)

Thank you for your consistency sending in all of the necessary forms. I know it can be overwhelming this time of year. At this point I have received ALL of the field trip forms and completion ceremony forms as well.

It will be a busy and short week next week and then we are off to camp :) Keep watching the blog as I will be posting all of the "need to knows" for camp week very soon so that you can help prepare your child for a great week.

Art, Technology, and Science, oh my!

Hi everyone,

The students are very excited about a project they have been working on in art class that combines their Scientific and Technology expertise as well. The projects are still a work in progress and will be updated with the edition of music during general music class, but I wanted to give you all a sneak peak at what they have done so far. You may need to have your child sign in to their google account if you are denied access.

Enjoy: The Moon's Phases

A zillion forms.... AKA the Spring of 5th grade :)

Hi Folks!

I just wanted to touch base as there are many forms going home right now and it can be hard to keep track of all of them as well as the due dates:

1. Completion Ceremony T-shirt and 15 dollar donation is due on May 20th.
2. Field Trip Permission slip (both sides) and a 20 dollar donation is due on Wed May 25th.

If you plan to volunteer for the field trip or fifth grade camp there is still time to get your fingerprinting done. It is a one week turn around. If you have not gotten a CORI yet you have missed the window this year.

I will try to keep you updated on any other forms that are due.
