Museum Field Trip

We had a great day at the museum today. Students learned a lot about David Thompson, the British explorer who traveled (and mapped) the entire Columbia River. Lewis and Clark even used some of his maps. I think everyone's favorite part of the field trip was paddling the canoes in the Columbia River. One canoe was "American" and one was "British." The American canoe won, when my group did it anyway. I hear the British won with other groups.

New Safety Patrol Members

We will begin training on Thursday, June 2nd. You will be observing the 5th graders perform the safety patrol duties this week and will begin training in the different stations next week. It is important to be here every day, both in the morning or afternoon. Students who are not responsible cannot be on safety patrol. All new Safety Patrol members must be at school by 7:30 a.m. and you will work after school until 3:05, Thursday and Friday. I will be making a schedule next week for training and the week after that for working.

If you have any questions, you may call me at 669-3154.

Rocky Reach Dam

Yesterday was a great day to go to Rocky Reach Dam. We did have a little rain while we were at the discovery stations, outside, but the students still had an amazing time. They got to build dams, count fish, and learn about the optimum temperature fish like to live in. We then went into the dam and learned about saving electricity (we got to see the newest LED light bulbs that cost over $30 a piece but last 50,000 hours) and we toured the museum. It was a great day.

Today we have the BBQ and tomorrow we go to on our field trip to the Wenatchee Valley Museum.
