Just wanted to let you know about a couple upcoming field trips. I will be getting you more details and a permission slip as they get a little closer. These field trips are both planned to meet many science standards the children have for their grade level and are extremely fun. The kids look forward to them all year.
JA Biz Town- 5th grade
The fifth graders have an upcoming field trip to JA Biz Town on Tuesday, March 10th. This is an amazing field trip that they look forward to. They can’t wait to be fifth graders so they can go. While there they each have jobs, get paid, and run different business throughout the day. They have to get loans, deposit checks, use debit cards, and budget their money. This is a field trip we need parent drivers for. You will have to coordinate a ride for your child with other parents. We also need a couple parents to come and stay the day and help run a business. If you are interested in doing that let me know. You have to be approved and given a little instruction and we only have a few openings. It is a really fun time and every parent that has gone has really enjoyed the experience.
Clark Planetarium- 6th grade
This is a 6th grade field trip. It will be Wednesday, March 11th. We will be taking the Frontrunner down to SLC and returning the same way. While we are there we learn about the solar system and everything in it . We also get the opportunity to see the Dome show and the Science at the Globe presentation. There is a gift shop there if you would like to send money with your child, but it not required.
