Tomorrow, I will be taking our class to the Vaughn Library just around the corner from our school (A few minutes to walk there). We will be leaving the school at 1:00 pm and will be returning by 2:20 pm at the latest. Our visit to the library coincides with the start of our biography presentation unit. As most of you know, each student was asked to select a person they wish to read a biography on. They will have to explain how the person they are reading about helped to unify people or a helped divide people.
Most students have already informed me of their first choices, but they must keep in mind that there may not be a biography on that person in the library. If there is not a copy of the biography in stock at this specific Vaughn library but there is a copy at a different library location, you can sign out the book and it will be delivered to the library within a few business days.
If you (or your child) is not a library member and they find a library book that is suitable, they have 2 options:
1) You can send your child with a piece of ID including their address and they can sign up for a card tomorrow; or
2) You can have your child write down the biography information and you can go back on the weekend ti sign up for a library card and get the book.
In regards to permission to leave the premise; as long as you gave in the large book of forms with all forms signed, you have given your child permission to go to the library. If you have not signed the forms, please bring in a hand written note (written by and signed by a guardian) saying that you have permission to attend the walk to the library.
If you have an allergy that requires an Epipen, please bring 1 with you and I will bring the one that you have already given to the school.
Thanks parents and thank you for your incredible patience and understanding over the last 2 weeks. I truthfully would have normally sent home a subsequent letter to parents about this, but in dealing with my illness, my wife getting sick and my 6 month old getting sick its been a rough two weeks!
I look forward to the start of this unit and to seeing who everyone decides to read and present about!
Sincerely,
Mr. Kaiman
