In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: You may want to include information about alternative activities, in case a parent or guardian does not want their child to participate in the activity. For example, if the parent or guardian does not want their child to go on a trip, what will the child do instead? If there is an in-class activity that involves eating cake, what can a child do or eat if they are not permitted to have cake? If the trip requires chaperones, include an option for parents to volunteer. Ask for the parents' contact information so you can reach out before the trip. Provide a date where you will contact the parent to let them know. At the bottom of the permission slip, you can write "Special Comments or Instructions: _________." This gives the parent or guardian space to include anything that you may not have explicitly asked for. You can also write permission slips in a letter format. Start the slip with "Dear (parent or guardian)". Use a friendly tone, include all relevant details in sentence format, and close the letter with a comment that invites further communication. For example, you can write, "If you have any questions or would like further information, don't hesitate to reach out."
Summary: Include information about alternative activities. Invite chaperones. Leave space for comments. Frame the slip as a letter.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Vidalia onions are a popular choice based upon their size and flavor. Sweet onions are the most popular, and red sweet onions are very common, too. Any onion, so long as it's large and fresh, will do the trick. In the case of whole onions, symmetrical is best, so one side doesn't naturally rest on its bottom, getting cooked unevenly. Remove any of the loose, dry outer skin that is thin like paper and is peeling. Inspect the next layer of the onion for any shriveling or damage, and remove if necessary. You should be able to tell when you hit the meat of the layers. To make slices, hold the onion at the root end, and place it sideways on the cutting board. Your hand and the root should be horizontal to the board. Cut the onion into thick slices, generally half an inch thick (1.3 cm). To cut into wedges, don't cut all the way to the bottom of the onion. If you do, they'll fall apart. Wedges should be about 1 inch (2.5 cm) wide, and a good-sized onion will yield 4-6 wedges. These are just recommendations. You can cut the onion however you like, from thick wedges to whole slices. Just know that the smaller your onions are, the more likely they'll be to fall through the grate for small onions, you'll need equipment to keep that from happening. Add any seasonings you like, such as salt, pepper, or garlic powder, too. A list of possibilities is discussed above, but olive oil, salt, and pepper is a general standard. Make sure you get both sides! Place the onion slices directly onto the grill surface. Alternatively, use your grill basket or a tent made out of aluminum foil. Allow them to cook for approximately 3-5 minutes or until you can see black grill marks. Larger, thicker onions may take up to 7. To make a foil tent, simply place a couple of onion slices on a piece of foil. Turn the long sides in, covering the onions, and then roll up the sides, enclosing them in. Skewers are easiest for wedges, if you're worried about them falling apart. Again, just make sure they were soaked in water before use, or they may start a fire. Allow the other side to cook for another 3-5 minutes or until you see grill marks. If you want to re-season or add more olive oil, do so now. Give the edge of one a taste test. Does it have a hint of a crunch initially, but is still soft and getting caramelized? That's exactly when you know they're done. Grilled onions make their own delicious side dish, but they're also great added to salsa, relish, baked beans, curries, and any other vegetable dish.
Summary: Select large, firm onions from your local produce supplier. Slice off the stem end of the onion and peel. Cut the onion. Brush the slices with olive oil and flavor to taste. Preheat your grill to medium heat. Turn the grilled onion slices over with your tongs. Remove the onion slices from the grill, and serve with your meal.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Place the balloon-covered end over your heart (or someone else's heart), and the other end against your ear. If you used a second funnel, make sure that the funnel is touching your head; if you left the tube as-is, gently stick the end into your ear, like an earbud. If the room is quiet enough, you should be able to hear the heart beating! If you can't hear the heart, do some jumping jacks for about 1 minute, then try again. If you're listening to someone else's heart, have them do the jumping jacks. A quiet room is important. Because this is a handmade stethoscope, it's not very strong or loud. A noisy room will drown out the heartbeat.
Summary:
Use the stethoscope in a quiet room.
