Well, the countdown is on. One more day until we go to Mono Cliffs!
Today I shared the sleeping and activity groups arrangement with the class. I was pleased that everyone was respectful or each other's feelings. We will have a great trip.
Remember there are three groups in the evening, five activity groups in the daytime and different seating arrangements during meals.
I will make sure that each student has his/her specific grouping typed out and reading to go for you Wednesday morning.
As I mentioned today, I am away Tuesday.
You will be getting a letter in the morning to send home mentioning that you need to:
- Bring a bag lunch for Wednesday
- Leave your luggage downstairs in the caf and head up to homeroom in the morning
- Get a note from parents/guardians if you intend on leaving when we arrive Friday (no phone calls will be permitted Friday afternoon at school)
Homework for tonight:
