I thought I had posted the blurb below earlier this week on this class blog (I did it in Google Classroom). Looking at the weather forecast and the projected snowstorm, I am not too optimistic that we will go to MacSkimming on Thursday. However, we learned today that if the buses are cancelled on Thursday, we can reschedule our visit to MacSkimming for Monday, March 24th!
In case we do get to go on Thursday, here is the info I meant to post here:
Thank you for signing the online field trip permission forms for Thursday’s trip to the MacSkimming Outdoor Center! The students and I are looking forward to the pioneer village experience! A special thanks go out to our parent volunteers: Lydia’s mom and Mustafa’s mom. These parent volunteers should sign in at the office at 9:15am and head to our portable (#6). We will be heading out the bus at 9:35am sharp (right after O Canada and morning announcements), so please make sure your child is here on time at the first bell, or he/she will be placed in another Grade 3 class for learning until we return to the school. We will be returning to the school around 2:15pm in the afternoon. Heavy snow is forecast for this Thursday, so students should be dressed according to the conditions (hat, mitts, snow pants, winter coat, winter boots, extra socks). Please note that if the school board cancels buses due to inclement weather early Thursday morning, our field trip will not proceed and will also be cancelled. Listen to morning radio announcements and check the news/your email before school on Thursday.

Don’t forget to pack your child a litter-free lunch and a reusable water bottle on Thursday. We will have a brief lunch break while we are there.
