FIeld Trip Reminder
Field trip money is due by next Tuesday, 11/26/13. The original field trip letter letter says 11/29/13 but we won't be in school that day:).
Our first trip is to the Jacksonville Zoo on 12/12/13. I am going to ask my students to think of their favorite animal at the zoo in preparation for a short animal report we will write. The week of 12/3/13 will have an animal theme to it as we read the story "Two Days in May" about wild deer living in a city. I am really looking forward to our "Animal Theme"!

Field Trip letters went home last Friday, 11/8/13. The field trip cost this year is $20.00 and that fee covers all field trips.
Third grade will go to the Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens on 12/12/13 and to FSCJ to see the play "Stuart Little" on 2/3/14. Parents who would like to chaperone will pay at the gate at the zoo ($11.95, unless you have zoo membership) and will need to pay in advance for the play. Chaperones for "Stuart Little" will need to pre-pay through the school ($8.50).
All chaperones must be an approved volunteer. If you haven't filled out a volunteer application, you can do so online (http://www.duvalschools.org). Go to the "community" tab and then choose "volunteer information".

In Flanders Fields | ||
by John McCrae | ||
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place, and in the sky,
The larks, still bravely singing, fly,
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the dead; short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe!
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high!
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
