Day 4

The 5th grade students will be leaving Nature's Classroom tomorrow after an exciting week.  I'm glad they have the long week-end to recuperate.  They will surely needs lots of rest.  Certainly they have missed you and can't wait to get a big hug!  Please be sure you are on time to pick up your child.  The bus is scheduled to be in Charlton MA for pick up at 11:00.  My prediction/hope is that they are on the road by 11:30.  That would put them in Lynn at the Great Woods Road parking lot around 1:00.  Mrs. Zukas will call me to tell me their exact departure time if you want to call around lunch to get a more accurate ETA.  Here is the final round of pictures.
