 9/21/2009 Dear ECE Parents, We will no longer be going to Berry Patch Farms on Tuesday Oct. 27, 2009. Instead we will be joining the Palmer ECE classes on Thursday October 8, 2009 and heading to Anderson Farms which is located at: 6728 CR 3 ¼ Erie, CO 80516 PHONE: 303-828-5210 info@andersonfarms.com  We will leave Montclair around 9:30am and leave Anderson Farms at 12:30pm. We will arrive back at Montclair around 1:30pm. On our trip students will learn how to identify pumpkin seeds & how pumpkins & other everyday products “grow” from the farm to their house. They will also take a wagon ride to pick their own pumpkin & visit with the farm animals. We would love for Parents to join us! We ask that you do not bring younger siblings. There is no room on the bus for parent volunteers, so I am asking that you drive. You can find driving directions on this link: http://www.coloradokids.com/linkframe/anderson-frameset.html If you are unable to access the driving directions, please ask me and I will print you a copy. You are more than welcome to follow the bus! Head Start will cover the cost of the student’s admission, but if you decide to drive and meet us there it will cost you $6.00.  It is time to start parent volunteering in the classroom! I am asking that parents volunteer to help in the classroom on Wednesdays and Thursdays in the morning starting October 1, 2009 from 8:55-11:00am. Parent volunteers can help during center times and during small group instruction time. There will be a sign up sheet located next to your mailboxes on top of the student’s cubbies.
