Just a reminder that we are done with formal spelling tests. I am continuing assessments with the kids for the remainder of the year. Due to our busy week with a field trip and animal projects we are not going to have any homework outside of reading 20-30 minutes each night. I hope this helps if your child is still putting the finishing touches on their animal projectsJ Have a great night!

Our Next Field Trip!

The Third Grade Classes at Valley View will be going on a field trip to the Van Andel Museum on May 22, 2014!

The students will have a guided tour at the museum called:

Anishinabek: The People of this Place. This program will support our curriculum for Social Studies. Students will learn about the history and culture of the Native Americans of our area. It is a very informative and interesting program!

Students will also have time to explore the museum. They will be able to see the animal habitats and furniture city among other exhibits. Students will be able to ride the carousel and visit the gift shop as well.

The trip will take place during the regular school day. Students will need to bring a sack lunch with a drink and wear comfortable shoes. Cameras are also a great idea. We will return to school around 2:30 PM.

The cost for each student is $5.00. This includes the museum entrance fee as well as the carousel ride. If you are interested in chaperoning, please let your child’s teacher know. Thank you in advance for your support!
