CALIFORNIA STATE RAILROAD MUSEUM FIELD TRIP:
Mr. Miranda’s and Mrs. Vander Kooi’s fifth grade classes will visit the California State Railroad Museum in Sacramento on Tuesday, April 14. We will leave school at 7:00 AM and tour the museum from 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM. After eating sack lunches, students will have the opportunity to explore Old Town Sacramento before boarding the bus for home at 2:00 PM. We should return to school about 5:00 PM.We will need parents to chaperone groups of students. Parent-chaperones must pay $9.00 upon entrance to the museum. Teachers will not collect this money ahead of time. Please let us know as soon as possible if you are willing to chaperone and if you want to ride the bus with the students as there is limited room.The California State Railroad Museum is one of Sacramento’s largest and most popular visitor destinations. With over 225,000 square feet of total exhibit space, the buildings within the California State Railroad Museum complex use stimulating exhibits, enthusiastic and knowledgeable docents, and beautifully restored railroad cars and locomotives to illustrate how railroads have shaped people’s lives, the economy, and the unique culture of California and the West.The required reading for the month of April is student’s choice and the written response will be a poster illustrating the protagonist and the antagonist, with a memorable quote from each, due Friday, May 1. Class time will be given every day for silent reading and students are expected to read a minimum of 10 pages a day. If they are unable to complete this in class, then reading becomes homework.
