Observations

What's outside YOUR door?
Day 1 surprises! Cicada!

It's been a wonderful start to the year. Looking forward to many more days together.

ROV tests at Sheffield Cove

Our last ROV use for this year.

Tomorrow (6/15), 6-2 and 6-3 will be going to Sheffield Cove.

Wed of next week (6/20), 6-1 will go.

To bring:
water bottle
small towel for ROV
sun protection (sunscreen, hat, glasses, etc)
Protective shoes that can get wet---open shoes are not suggested, as there are many sharp oyster shells.
An inquisitive mind and collaborative spirit!

Casey Farms

Reminder and Volunteer Opportunity


Wednesday is Casey Farms field trip.

Please dress for the weather!!! Currently, one forecast says "partly to mostly cloudy." This has been shifting from chance of rain to partly sunny. Be ready for anything. :)

If it's rainy, expect to go! If it gets cancels, it won't happen till the last minute so please be ready.

Also, the walk to the bay is a cut grass path so may have ticks. Long white socks, etc. for tick prevention.

Last item: bring a lunch and a drink in a weather proof bag.

Volunteers:
We could use a few adult volunteers to accompany us for the day. You would join a group and rotate with that group for the day. We will put you in the same group as your child.
If you are interested, please email me at tuttle.charlene@jamestownschools.org

Thank you!!
Ms.Tuttle

Date correction

Date correction:

Sorry for any confusion,
Have a great weekend!

Alton jones reminder!,

Monday, May 21 is Alton Jones day!

Please make sure children have clothing to protect against ticks (long pants, tall white socks), bug spray pre-applied.
Also, layers are great to be ready for various weather conditions and closed toe shoes are a must!

A hat and labeled water bottle would be wonderful.

A small backpack would be perfect to carry all of this.
We are looking forward to it!

Follow me on twitter  @ctuttle726 for real time tweets of the action.

(I'm new to twitter but have figured out the basics!)

Have a wonderful day!
