Upcoming Field Trip

We are headed to.....

Zook Molasses and Good Food, Inc.

in Honey Brook, PA

on

Tuesday, October 5, 2010


from 8:20 - 12:15ish

Why?

In Social Studies, we'll be studying the assembly line. Good Food, Inc. has many assembly lines that the students will get to observe and learn about.

In our Read Aloud, the students are listening to the Swiss Family Robinson - a family on a deserted island that eats delightful things like sugar cane, sorghum and molasses - all products that the students will get to taste test!

In our Reading Books, our theme is "Nature's Fury". Zook Molasses and Good Food, Inc. experienced a tornado in 1999. The students already looked at a few pictures from the tornado, but they will get to see exactly where the tornado hit the building and they'll get to see some before and after pictures of the tornado.

What should students and chaperones wear the day of the field trip?

Sneakers

(No open-toe shoes - FDA rules)

Jeans

(No shorts -more FDA rules)

Also, a glamorous hair net will be provided for your child's precious hair! I'm sure they'll love that feature! (Another FDA rule that must be followed during the tour.)

What shouldn't students and chaperones bring?

A lunch! My parents and sisters will provide a pizza lunch for students and chaperones in their company lunchroom. If there are certain food allergies, please let me know asap.

Please fill out the permission slip on RenWeb and indicate whether or not you can chaperone and/or drive for the field trip. We are relying on drivers to keep the field trip exclusively FREE!

Thanks for any help you can provide!
