Dear Parents of our Second Graders:

As you know, tomorrow (Thursday, May 26) is the day of the Forest Park All-School Picnic!

Please take note of the following:

• Dismissal from school is at 10:30 A.M. We strongly encourage parents or guardians to pick up their children from Betsy Ross School at this time, as it is difficult to find people in the crowded park.

• If you must pick up your child at the park, please note that your child will be waiting next to the Forest Park yellow school buses that are parked behind the “Tot Lot” (where the playground equipment is located). We should arrive at the park at approximately 10:50 A.M.

• Please know that no child may participate in the picnic activities unsupervised; this is a safety issue that we take very seriously! If, at the last minute you are unable to escort your child, please make arrangements for him/her to join another parent or arrange for a relative or friend to attend the picnic with your child. (Please indicate to whom you've given permission to pick up your son/daughter in a note to my attention. I cannot release a student to anyone without parental authorization.)

Please don’t hesitate to call the school (708-366-7498) with any questions you may have.

--Ms. Prine

We used a Root-Vue farm (such as this one) to plant our vegetables...

Plants!!!

This past week we've been studying about how plants grow, parts of plants, how seeds travel, and how we utilize the roots, leaves, stems, and seeds for food. We've sown beets, onions, and carrots in a special container that allows us to observe the roots develop.
