Next Friday (10/13) The entire TPS lower school will be going on a field trip to the Greensboro Science Center. Please note that this is not just a Primary Department trip. Miss. Hines and I are not planning the trip nor will we be able to go because we will be at an ELA workshop. However, our students will be in good hands- Gayle Hice will be substituting for us and going with the class along with several other TPS teachers. A permission form should be sent home in next week's folder, but I wanted to give a "heads-up" that this is coming. If your child needs a booster or carseat, please bring it that morning (10/13). Also, students will need to bring a bagged lunch.
If you have questions, please let Kim Williams know- kwilliams@thepiedmontschool.com.

Class Book!
This week our class will start working on our class book! We will write, edit and revise a class book that will be professionally published by Student Treasures Publishing. This is a wonderful opportunity for our students to discover the joy and excitement of traveling through the writing process and having a piece of writing published.
This year the theme and title of our book will be "The ABCs of Christmas." Each student will be given responsibility for at least 3 pages of the book. We have been brainstorming words that start with each letter of the alphabet, and we have decided on words that we can all agree on. Next, students will write sentences about those words, have their sentences edited, make a final copy and finally illustrate their sentences during art class.
I am sending order forms home today in homework folders. The school does not receive any incentive and this is not a fundraiser, so please in no way feel obligated to purchase a book. However, they are nice books and kids enjoy seeing their work in a bound book. The books will be distributed during our author's tea in December. These make great Christmas gifts!
Please return the forms ASAP (even if you are not ordering, please mark "no" on the bottom with a signature).
