On Thursday May 12, 2011, the fifth grade will have its annual 5th Grade Overnight. This is a two-day, one night event that will include fun activities and a potluck dinner Thursday night.
During this overnight, students will participate in three activities. One is a nature walk with Mr. Church that will take place near and at the Paskamansett Bridge. Students will learn how to use a compass in this activity. There is a canoeing adventure on the Paskamansett. Also, a high ropes element (probably the Giants Ladder) will be conquered by the students.
Thursday night there will be a potluck dinner. Students have been asked to bring food that their parents feel comfortable buying or making. Some of the choices include dry goods (paper plates, plastic ware, etc.), dinners (Pasta salad, chips, desserts, etc.) a main hearty dish such as lasagna, Mac & cheese etc. and drinks; water or juice boxes/Gatorade. After dinner we will have a campfire, roast marshmallows, make smores and just have a good time. Bedtime will depend on how well we do at the campfire.Friday will be spent doing our last two activities, taking down tents, and writing reflections. Dismissal will be at regular time (3:05 pm).
I enjoyed your article on the overnight because it was really accurate, especially because it had not taken place yet when you wrote this. It seemed like you had already experienced it based on the accuracy. Great job!
