How you can help (coming) 

Hobo Stove (due April 11!!!)

Dear parents,

 

HOBO STOVES & BURNERS FOR OUR OREGON TRAIL FIELD TRIP

 

Would you please help your child make a hobo stove?  Each hobo stove requires 1 tuna can and (1) 1-¼ inch wide corrugated cardboard strip. The directions on how to make both of them are attached to this note.

 

Please return the hobo stove and the burner by Monday, APRIL 11.

 

Thank you for all your support,

 

Mrs. McArthur

Estimados Padres de Inmersión,

 

ESTUFAS Y QUEMADORES PARA NUESTRO VIAJE DE NOCHE

 

¿Podría usted ayudar a su hijo(a) ha hacer una estufa (hobo) y un quemador?  Cada estufa necesita un quemador. Lo cual es una lata vacía de atún y una tira de cartón de 1 ¼ de pulgada de largo.  Las instrucciones de cómo hacerlos están adjuntas a esta nota.

 

Por favor regrese la estufa y el quemador el lunes 11 de abril.

 

Muchas gracias por todo su apoyo.

Oregon Trail Overnight Information

Dear Immersion Parents,

 

I am happy to inform you that I have received the dates for the Oregon Trail Overnight trip.  Our class will be making the overnight trip on April 14 & 15, 2011.

 

Please send your contribution to the classroom in an envelope with your child’s name on it (make checks payable to Atkinson Elementary).  If you are able, please include additional funds for families who are unable to contribute financially (for information on cost see Maestra McArthur).

 

If you would like to be a volunteer on the overnight trip, please let me know as soon as possible.  Male volunteers will be needed!  All volunteers will need to have passed a criminal background check before going on the trip.  If you are interested in volunteering, please verify with Jeannie in the office whether or not you have already passed this check and/or it is still valid.  There are a limited number of volunteer opportunities for the trip, which will be filled on a first come first serve basis.  Parents are included in the cost, so there is no additional fee for each volunteer.

 

The Oregon Trail Overnight will be held at the Nate Creek site at Camp Adams.  The Nate Creek at Camp Adams is a beautiful site located in Mollala, Oregon. You can see pictures and find more information at www.campadams.org.

 

Thank you for supporting your child in this learning experience!

 

Sincerely,

 

 

Martha McArthur

 

 

Estimados Padres

 

Recibí las fechas para la excursión del Sendero de Oregón. Los días que iremos serán el 14 y 15 de abril del 2011.  Si necesita escribir un cheque, por favor escríbalo a nombre de la Escuela Atkinson.   Necesito saber cuanto dinero podremos colectar y cuanto más dinero necesitaremos recaudar a través de actividades (

para obtener información sobre costes ver Maestra McArthur).

 

Si a usted le gustaría ser voluntario(a) para la excursión, por favor déjeme saber lo más pronto posible.  La razón es que la escuela necesita tiempo para hacer una verificación general de antecedentes penales.  Este proceso puede tomar tiempo por eso déjeme saber si usted están interesado(a), los padres que respondan primero podrán ir pues solamente hay pocos espacios.  Los voluntarios están incluidos en el precio.  No hay pago adicional por voluntarios. 

 

El rastro de Oregon la noche se llevará a cabo en el sitio de Nate Adamsen el Camp Creek. La cala de Nate en Camp Adams es un hermoso sitiolocalizado en Mollala, Oregon. Puedes ver fotos y obtener más información en www.campadams.org.

 

Muchas gracias por apoyar a su hijo(a) en esta excursión académica y divertida.

 

 

Sinceramente,

 

 

Sra. McArthur
