Well, today didn't go as expected... but we made the most of it! Clearly, we didn't go on our field trip today, but rather had our portfolio and party day in the classroom instead. Our Study of the City field trip will take place next Monday when the weather is forecasted to be dry with the high in the 70s. Gotta love Idaho!

Today, the students used a rubric to assess their Study of the City presentation, answered reflection questions on their digital portfolios, and celebrated the end of their GATE career with games, crafts, a blanket fort, a movie, and snacks graciously provided spur of the moment by Ms Patterson!

5/16 FIELD TRIP INFO

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 presented their research in the classroom last 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 Guido's 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.
