Measure the School with Rulers

Friday, May 25 2012

Things have been very busy around HIS and I am sorry for not having a blog post last week.  We are still investigating insects and are still waiting for our silkworm eggs to hatch in the classroom.  We also have a live butterfly and many small insects that we caught over the past two weeks in the classroom.  Next Friday is our silkworm field trip; please remember to pack a suitable lunch to eat outside,  also sunscreen and bug repellent.  I hope to see many of you next Wednesday at the art show, as the Pre-K’s will have many pieces of work displayed.   The school will also have a special exhibit on the famous artist, Matisse.

Next Tuesday is going to be Daphne’s last day with us in the Pre-K class as she will be heading back to Singapore.  We will all miss her so much and wish her good luck at your next school.

Silkworm Field Trip

Dear Parents,

For our last field trip of the year and to end our unit on insects I am planning a trip to a silkworm farm.  It is located north of Miaoli and will take around 40 minutes by bus to get there.  It is going to take place Friday June 1st from 9:00 until 2:00.  We will be taking a bus to the farm. The cost of field trip will be 450nt; this will give us a guide to take us through the entire process from the trees to the silk, insurance and for the bus.  Also, on the day we will be having our lunch at the farm so could you please pack a suitable lunch.

cheers
