Packing List:

For bag under the bus:

• shorts or pants
• extra shirt
• underwear
• pajamas
• socks
• brush
• deodorant
• toothbrush
• toothpaste 

For bag on the bus:

• spending money for gift shop
• quiet things to to on the ride (DS, iPod, book, Kindle/Nook, etc.)
• small pillow/blanket
• light jacket
• camera

Odds and Ends:

-Electronics are fine to bring, as long as you realize each person is responsible for keeping up with their own items. On the bus, electronics will need to have the volume turned off, or have earbuds.

-I will be providing "on the bus" snacks and drinks for the kids. Adults may bring along drinks or snacks for themselves, but will not need to pack additional for the kids.

-All meals will be provided for the kids.

-Adults will need money for two lunches and two suppers.

-Breakfasts on BOTH days will be provided for adults and kids.

-T-shirts are in and were passed out yesterday. Arrive Thursday morning in your t-shirt. These will be the "uniform" for both days of the trip. I will collect, wash, and return them to you on Thursday night.

-If at all possible, I recommend not leaving your car in the school parking lot. It takes out the risk for any vandalism.

2/26 Homework:
Reading- study voc.
Spelling- study 
Math- CW 189-190

Science- study CCs
