September Field Trips

Field trips are an incredibly important part of our philosophy at Summers-Knoll. We believe
field trips are central to each child's learning, and enrich our projects and themes. We are
so lucky to live in a vibrant city, and want to take advantage of all it has to offer!

The first field trips of the year tend to be ones that welcome children into school and introduce
them to some of the traditions created over the years in the first/second grade classroom.
With that in mind, please note September's very busy schedule. There is even a field trip the
very first week!

Thursday, September 5: Jo Ann Fabric Store               9:10a.m.

This annual trip is a special one. Children get to select their own fuzzy fabric in order to sew
the reading pillows they will use all year! Ludmila will join us on this trip - thank you!

* On the following morning, Friday the 6th, Victoria will help with threading needles and Alex’s 
grandma, Linda, will also help with machine sewing - thank you!

Friday, September 13: Howell Nature Center 

This all-day annual trip is always a sweet bonding event, and so much fun. This year,  we will do
a mix of nature studies (raptors), sports/team-building (canoeing and zipline), and social studies
(drumming). 

* check in with Karen B. for volunteer opportunities!

Monday, September 16: Sweet Acres Berry Patch     1:00p.m.

This will be our third year going to this very special place in Ypsilanti. We each get to pick a pint
of raspberries AND some gorgeous dahlias to take home. 

* thanks to Victoria, Ludmila, and Aubree for coming along!
