Thanks for your support on an awesome turnout at the Harvest Festival!  Thank you also for your support on our Annual Giving drive, both of our classes had 100% participation!

Our field trip on Monday was fantastic!  We had a great time at the farm.  We saw pigs and piglets and goats and sheep and chickens and cows.  We played in a huge pit of corn and slid on a massive slide.  We walked through a corn maze and chose pumpkins from a pumpkin patch.  Some of us took a hayride, pulled by a tractor.  We ate lunch together and even the bus was fun!  Special thanks to the chaperones, you made it a great and safe field trip.

The reason for our field trip is to introduce our new IB unit, which is about farms.  It falls under the transdisciplinary theme of "how we share the planet".  Our lines of inquiry are:

What comes from farms?
How farms work.
How do products go from farm to home?

Please take some time in the next few weeks to discuss this with your child, we'd love to hear some "home" perspectives!

The Learner Profile attributes that we will focus on this time are:

Inquirer
Knowledgeable

Thanks also for your support on picture day.  I know it's tough. especially for the PM class, to adjust your schedule so that we can have all the kids here in the morning.  You are true Channing Hall Champions to do it two days in a row!
