Fishing Trip Tomorrow


Here are a few reminders about our fishing trip tomorrow:

  • The weather will probably be very hot, and we will be outdoors for the
    entire trip. Please make sure your child wears cool clothing and shoes that can get dirty. Children can also wear hats or visors to help block the sun. They should come to school with sunscreen already applied.

  • We leave school at 8:30 and should arrive at the IFAS fishery around 9:00. The address for IFAS is 7922 NW 71st Street. The website is http://fishweb.ifas.ufl.edu/index.htm. Parent chaperones can follow the bus or meet us there.
  • While at the fishery, the children will get to try net and pole fishing. We are hoping that every child will get to catch a fish, but it's all about luck! All of the fishing is catch and release; no fish will be coming home!
  • We will have a picnic lunch while there. Children will need to bring bag lunches labeled with their names.
  • I will bring the class water bottles for the children to access throughout the day. (They will still need a drink in their lunches.) Many kids finished their water during Friday's trip to the blueberry farm. Please send another water bottle with your child on Monday.
  • We will leave the fishery around 12:30 to return to PK.

We are looking forward to a great day tomorrow. Please email me if you have any questions about the trip.
