Hello!
Reminder: Our field trip to the Bob Bullock Texas state History Museum is tomorrow (Friday, April 5)!
Bring a sack lunch. Wear comfortable shoes and a purple, green, or Forest Creek shirt. (if possible) Don't send cameras, any form of electronics, or money. We can't take photos inside the museum and we don't want anything getting broken or lost. We will not be going into the gift shop.
We are all very excited about the trip and know that the kids will have a great time and learn a lot.
We will be seeing lots of primary sources or original artifacts, letters, diaries, speeches, photographs, tools, etc... and some secondary sources such as drawings, paintings, articles, textbooks, etc....
We will review information about native Americans in Texas, explorers, missions, and the Texas Revolution as well as learn about statehood and Texas today.
Be sure to talk to your child about what they saw and why it was interesting for them.
We will also be watching an IMAX movie about tornado alley. We will be learning about weather next week so this will be perfect!
We talked in class about behavior expectations on the bus and in the museum. Please review these with your child at home.
Bus-sitting with back against back of seat at all times, quiet talking to people in the seat with you, feet and bodies out of the aisle, respectful actions to bus driver as well as all other people on bus. Follow the Forest Creek HOWL motto.
Museum-stay with your group at all times, walking only, quiet voices, listen to adults with you as well as people in the museum, don't go to the bathroom or anywhere else in the museum without an adult's permission and a buddy. Follow the Forest Creek HOWL motto.
H-honor yourself and others
O-own your actions
W-work toward your best
L-listen and be heard
It will be a great day!
Thanks,
Pam
