Pumpkin Patch 2016

We had such an extraordinary time at 

Plumper Pumpkin Patch!

I can not thank our parent volunteers enough! We were able to participate in all of the activities thanks to all of your support! 

We had so much fun eating cold lunch, talking to the farmer, petting animals, riding on a tractor, watching a pig race, playing on the special playground, and picking pumpkins! 

2016-2017 School Year!

Hello and welcome to Miss Amanda's blog! 

I usually use this forum to post pictures and information about our amazing field trips and fun activities we do in class (such a cooking, special guests, etc.)! 

On the right side of your screen you'll see some links to important pages! 

The Upper SRC Wishlist 

When you click this link you will find some items the Upper SRC is in desperate need of! We can always use snacks, baby wipes, and anything else you are willing to donate! 

Syllabus 

Miss Ashlee (the teacher of the Primary SRC) and I get together every summer and create an awesome SRC syllabus! Here you will see the month, the thematic unit (all named after TV shows or movies this year! We're soooo creative ;), the topics of study, the special activity for the month, and the parental responsibility. This way there will be no surprises when field trip permission slips come home! 

Homework Policy

Click here for more information regarding the homework policy. Homework is not mandatory, but if you want some for you child, don't hesitate to ask!

Remind 

Remind is this awesome app that allows the teacher to send messages to families! I usually send out Reminds to remind parents about upcoming field trips, snow days, and anything else exciting! I try not to send them out too early! It's hard to remember not everyone gets up at 5am! :) 

Too Sick For School?

Here is a nice visual of the Beaverton School District's sick policy. Since some of our students have difficulty managing themselves and their symptoms (wiping nose, covering coughs and sneezes, etc.) at school, this policy is especially important! Please make sure your child is fever free, vomit free, and diarrhea free for at least 24 hours (without the aid of medication) before sending them back to school! 

February Gardening

We were so lucky to have a beautiful, sunny day in February and we made the most of it! We have some wonderful parent volunteers who work with the Sexton Mountain garden beds and compost the extra food at the end of lunch. Miss Rebecca and Miss Nicole invited the SRC students to help weed the garden beds and get them ready for Spring. We had such a fun time and learned a lot!

Aquarium Field Trip!

In February we went to the Portland Aquarium with Miss Ashlee's class! Luckily we were able to make it before the Aquarium shut its doors forever!

We were able to feed the fish, touch the sting rays, and experience hurricane force winds!

Pumpkin Patch 2015

We had an amazing field trip to Plumper Pumpkin Patch! We were so lucky to pick a quiet day where we were the only school at the farm in the afternoon! Along with Miss Ashlee's class, we were involved in so many activities around the pumpkin patch! We learned about pumpkins, took a hayride on a cool tractor, saw some farm animals, slid down a huge tube slide, played on a playground, and picked out our pumpkins from the patch!It was a great field trip and we were so lucky to have so many parents join us!
