[quote=Anonymous]Just found out we'll have a family wedding in Europe in October. We have to take the kids out of school for about a week. It will occur over Columbus Day weekend so we're looking at basically missing six school days (the Thur and Fri before the weekend, and the four-day week after it). Kids will be in second and fourth. I'm not so concerned about the second grader, but I keep hearing how the work load really ramps up on the fourth and I'm concerned kid will fall behind. Those of you who've done this, how did you handle it? Frank conversation with principal/teacher? I'm hoping teacher will give us some assignments to take with us and that we can require the 4th grader to write a report or two about some of the things learned in Europe. Will this fly with the school?[/quote]
