Hi Everyone,
Our rescheduled field trip to Ballard Park will take place on Thursday, May 13. We will leave promptly at 8:15. Please make sure that your child arrives on time. It is my understand that will may do some light hiking - clothes and shoes should be appropriate for such activity. We will bring lunch with us. Please be aware that a student in fourth grade has a life threatening nut allergy. When packing snacks and lunches for the field trip, please be aware that many pre-packaged food contain nuts or nut oils.
Mrs. Mitchell has written the following so you can better understand the purpose of this field trip:
Fourth grade has been studying Rocks and Minerals in Science and will be taking a field trip to Ballard Park on Thursday May 13th to enhance their experience. Ballard Park is located in Newport and is a 13-acre nature preserve that offers beautiful trails and abundant wildlife. Ballard Park is also the location of two former working quarries and all three rock types- igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic. Students will be able to discover glacial footprints and the many uses of rock on their visit.
