Last Wednesday, we had a great walking field trip to Maine Street. We learned a lot of interesting facts about the history of our community and we got to practice making a simple community map while we walked. I hope your student has shared something he or she learned with you.
That trip could not have been as successful without many people. Thank you to Cari Norcutt and Monyca Jensen for providing water and Dilly bars. It was a hot day and we were sure glad to have both of those! Thank you also to our chaperones, Racquel Feest, Dusty Casey, Cherilee Sorensen, David and Colleen Colburn, and Katie Dahl. Having the kids in small groups made it possible to cover more ground in the short time we had on Maine Street. Just another reason why I love Oasis Academy - great parents who are so willing to help!
We will have another walking field trip on September 11. One of our Social Studies standards is to recognize ways communities use memorials, so this is the perfect opportunity to go hear the Mayor of our town and the guest speaker, Governor Sandoval, speak at this ceremony. If you are interested in walking with us and attending the ceremony, please email me. We will leave at 9:30. The ceremony starts at 10 am on Wed. Sept. 11.
I hope your all enjoyed your Labor Day weekend!
