Field Trip to the Academy of Sciences

Our next field trip is to the Academy of Sciences for a special program they have designed and funded just for fourth and fifth graders in San Francisco.  Big thanks to Arthur and Toni Rembe Rock Fund for Enhancement Museum Visits for Students for making this trip possible.

We have been signed up for the Planetarium show, which features... 
"...a Tour of Our Solar System, in which we embark on a trip from planet Earth, navigating into orbit around our star, the Sun.  En route, students compare gaseous and rocky planets to moons, asteroids, and stars, ultimately examining what makes a planet a planet (or not) through the eyes of a scientist."  
To add to this amazing trip, will be also treated to a free "green" lunch as well as free t-shirts for the kids that will give them admission to the Academy until August 31, 2009!  Each student also gets one complimentary family pass to enjoy any time.  Thanks, Academy!

I have noticed a surge in requests to chaperone this trip.  Unfortunately, I can not accept any more parent requests to accompany the kids to the Academy.  

However, I always need chaperones to look after the kids on other trips.  I would love to have parents who can handle taking a group of kids when we visit museums in the future.  Please understand that chaperoning a field trip is work, however, and not just a fun trip.  Our job as adults is to make the fun happen for our fabulous students and to ensure their safety!

Thank you, parents!
