Students who studied Basque culture prepared Gâteau Basque Cake and Tortilla de Patatas to share with the class!
Today the students created gifts and cards for their teachers for Teacher Appreciation Week, finished their presentations, and presented their Study of the City presentations.
MAY 9TH FIELD TRIP INFORMATION
Here is a digital copy of the field trip permission form for the few students who haven't returned them yet. I would feel best if they were emailed at this point, because our bus leaves shortly after the students arrive on Monday morning, and it would be a shame if a student couldn't join because they forgot their form.
Students should dress for the weather and bring anything they may need to be comfortable through the day. This could include a water bottle, small bag, phone/camera, jacket, etc.
Here is the current working schedule for the field trip. The students will present their research in the classroom on next week, so the main point of the trip is to see the places mentioned in the presentations first hand; practice independence, leadership, and etiquette while navigating the city; and celebrating a fantastic elementary GATE career!
A single scoop of ice cream from Stella's and 2 slices of pizza and a drink from Pie Hole will be covered by Foundation Account funds. If a student would like to pack a lunch or purchase more, they will need to bring money with them.
Thank you so much to everyone that has donated to the Lowell GATE Classroom Fund this year! Your donations have purchased 2 drone kits, tons of art and engineering supplies, 5 field microscopes, and 5 huge Lego sets! I have my eye on some more Rubik's cubes (thank you to the family that donated some old ones!!), math/strategy challenges, and some storage bins that better fit the cabinets.

(I'll start posting as soon as I have confirmed which students from each school are on the No Photo List. Thanks for your patience!)
