Next month we are going on a field trip to the Edison National Historic Site, located in West Orange, NJ. This trip is going to go along with my lesson plan which involves electricity and light. This trip will take a whole school day; the children will come to school, we will take attendence, and then leave.
The site takes a little over an hour to get to, so we will be there for about three hours or so. There should be no problem getting the children back on time to leave for home. When we get to the site, we will get a tour of Edison's lab and the students will have to fill out a handout. After the lab, we will take a lunch break. It is reccommended that the students bring brown bagged lunches. After lunch, we will visit Edison's former home. We will then return home. There will be no chaperones or money needed for the trip (just bagged lunches). If you cannot supply their child a lunch, please notify me ASAP. Also, if you have any questions, please ask.
Please make sure that your child is dressed properly for the field trip. We are going to be inside for most of it, however it is important to know that we will also be outside. Also, if your child cannot behave on the trip, a punishment will be served accordingly.
You should receive a permission slip in the mail within two weeks. I want these slips, signed, by a week before the trip. If I do not get a slip, your child will not be able to attend the trip. They will still be expected to attend school, however. Work will be given to them accordingly.
