Smith April 25-29

Parents and Students:

Fever 1793 Ch. 1-5 grade on Tues., April 26
Students should study the 10 vocabulary words. They also have a Ch. 1-5 question sheet which they may want to review to check their knowledge of these questions. The students own their books so they may highlight in them if they wish. It is also quite helpful for them to reread the chapters. After testing on Ch. 1-5, we will begin reading Ch. 6-11.

Spelling Lesson 34 grade on Wed., April 27

English
Students will do lessons 1-3 (P. 216-221).
Lessons 1-3 grade on Thurs., April 28

Bible
Memory: Romans 12: 9-11 due by Thurs., April 28
We will not have a Bible Lesson grade this week due to the American Village trip on Friday.

Note the following:
American Village Trip on Fri., April 29
1. Arrival Time at Trinity: 7:10 A.M. We depart promptly at 7:30 A.M. We must leave on time so students should be in their homerooms by 7:10 A.M.
2. Drop all students off to come to their homerooms. Then proceed to the parking lot behind the guests bleachers on the Lower School end of that parking lot. We will take roll and bring the students with carpool lists, directions to the Village, and day group information.
3. Some dads have been asked to bring a cooler. Those dads need to go by the kitchen in Willett Hall to pick up the lunches. If adult lunches and students lunches have been labeled separately, please load those lunches separately into the coolers. Each cooler should have a label on the top reading "Trinity". Meet us at the back parking lot as indicated in #2. When we arrive at American Village, the coolers should be brought to the gift shop entrance and set outside. The Village will see to it that the coolers arrive at the picnic area. A note with all of this information will be in Monday's folder.
4. Students are expected to participate when asked during the presentations. Dads, make sure that all cell phones are off or on silent during the presentations. When the presentations are over, and everyone has eaten lunch, you may take you child to visit the chapel, wax museum, and oval office. These visits are certainly worth the time. We just ask that you carefully monitor the children in these areas as teachers cannot be everywhere at once.
5. The gift shop should be the last visit. Students may purchase souvenirs of the American Revolution time period! They have some fun and interesting gift items.
6. Everyone should be returning to Trinity by the end of the school day. All students may leave with their dads at this point. If you drive with just your child and have no need to return to Trinity, you may go home from the Village.
**Please look for complete information in Monday's folder!

**Please remember to be packing special items in those "Memory Boxes".

Have a wonderful Easter week-end! Christ has risen!
