Fifth and Sixth Grade Science

Science
This Friday is our fieldtrip to Mt St Helens! I am posting a copy of the flyer that Mrs.West and I sent home in the Monday folder last week, just in case you need a refresher! Mrs.West and I could also still use one more chaperone per grade. Please email us if you are willing to lead a group of 3-4 students in an educational experience and you have the extra time to go!

Fieldtrip Alert! Fieldtrip Alert!
Where? Mt. St Helens
When?  Friday, October 5th 7:30am-4:30pm
Who? Fifth and Sixth Grade/ Mrs. West and Mrs. Carrillo/ 8 Chaperones  If you want to help chaperone this trip please contact Mrs. Carrillo at: dcarrillo@foundationcampus.org   Chaperones will be given the field study science packets ahead of time to review. Chaperones will need to lead 3-5 students in discussions of the material and assist students in completing the packet, in addition to monitoring student behavior.
What? Weather permitting, we will be doing science field study and picnic lunch at Cold Water Lake and hiking the Hummocks trail. (2 ½ miles, very hilly) If the weather is too rainy, we will have to reschedule the trip for spring.
What to Bring? A picnic lunch and some snacks for morning and afternoon, a couple of water bottles, backpack with pencils and a clipboard (teacher will provide clipboard), a jacket with a hood, a book to read on the bus, (if it doesn’t make you sick). Optional item is a camera; however, bring it at your own risk. Teachers will hold cell phones for students and give them out when we return. No electronics please!!!
How? We will ride the Big Yellow Bus. Parents who wish to follow in their own cars will be permitted; however, we will need chaperones on the bus.
