Cooking Field Trip
Dear Families:
At the end of kindergarten each year we like to explore a topic that interests the students. The class has voted and the topic of interest for this year is cooking (the vote was an overwhelming 18 to 4 in favor of cooking). The students have been working on project questions and developing a list of activity ideas. One of the many activities that we will be taking part in is a Cooking Field Trip.
On Tuesday, April 23rd we will be going to Paducah to explore cooking and the culinary arts. We will begin our field trip at Pizza Inn where we will be creating and baking our own pizzas. We will then be traveling to West Kentucky Community and Technical College to view the culinary program and to meet a real chef. Finally we will visit a market and purchase foods to use in our own cooking experiments. There will be a $3.00 cost per student for the field trip and meal.
We plan on leaving Cuba at 8:15 a.m. and we will return by 2:15 p.m. Here is the approximate timeline for our day trip:
• 8:15-9:30 Travel to Pizza Inn
• 9:30-10:45 Pizza Inn
• 10:45-11:00 Travel to WKCTC
• 11:00-12:00 WKCTC
• 12:00-12:15 Travel to Midtown Market
• 12:15-1:00 Midtown Market
• 1:00-2:15 Travel to Cuba
Please complete the
permission slip and return with the $3.00 field trip payment by Monday, April 22nd. If your child does not have a signed permission slip he/she will not be allowed to attend the field trip and an alternate activity will be provided at school. We would love to have parent volunteers to assist during the field trip. Please let us know if you plan on riding the bus or driving separately. Mrs. Melissa
