Lansing Field Trip

 

Dear Parents,

 

We are taking our field trip to our state capital of Lansing, Michigan on Wednesday, April 17th from 8:00-4:15. We will be taking a tour of the Michigan State Capitol building and Michigan Historical Museum!

 

All students and chaperones must be at school between 7:30-7:40. We will be leaving before school at 8:00 am to make it on time. We will be meeting in the media center. If students miss the bus, they need to check into the office and they will be placed in another classroom at school.

Please be back at Geer Park no later than 4:00 to pick up your child when we return. We should be back between 3:45-4:15. If we are running early or late, please be available to pick up your child or wait patiently for them. If you have REMIND, we will text you when we leave Lansing.

 

Students and chaperones MUST PACK A DISPOSABLE LUNCH for this trip. Both the Capitol and the Museum have a storage bin to keep our lunches. Please pack the lunches in disposable lunch bags and do not bring reusable water bottles. It is more convenient to throw/recycle all the trash once we are done. Please label the lunch bag with your full name before coming to school. Students may bring money, but it is not necessary,to purchase any snacks if they are available or gifts from the gift shop if time permits.

 

Students may bring a MINI travel backpack, but it is not encouraged. They will have to walk around with it on their backs the entire time.

 

Students will not be allowed to bring electronics on the bus.  We cannot ensure that these items will be secure and they are not allowed on the tours.  You may bring a good book or card games to pass the time but you will have to leave it on the bus! Therefore, keep your school backpacks at home.

Please be sure to wear comfortable shoes and dress for the weather. We will be walking from the Capitol to the museum. We would also like you to wear a Geer Park shirt or a blue shirt.

Thank you!

رحلة ميدانية إلى لانسنج ، ميشيغان

الآباء الأعزاء،

 

نحن بصدد رحلتنا الميدانية إلى عاصمة ولايتنا لانسينج بولاية ميشيغان يوم الأربعاء 17 أبريل من الساعة 8:00 حتي 4:30. سنقوم بجولة في مبنى الكابيتول في ولاية ميشيغان ومتحف ميشيغان التاريخي!

 

يجب أن يكون جميع الطلاب والفصول الدراسية في المدرسة بين 7:40-7:30 سنغادر قبل المدرسة في الساعة 8:00 صباحًا لنصل في الوقت المحدد. سنلتقي في المركز الإعلامي. إذا افتقد الطلاب الحافلة ، فيجب عليهم تسجيل الوصول إلى المكتب وسيتم وضعهم في فصل دراسي آخر في المدرسة.

 

يرجى العودة إلى جير بارك في موعد أقصاه الساعة 4:00 لالتقاط طفلك عند العودة. يجب أن نعود بين 4:15-3:45. إذا كنا نركض مبكراً أو متأخرًا ، فيرجى أن يكون متاحًا لالتقاط طفلك أو الانتظار بصبر له. إذا كان لديك REMIND ، فسنرسل إليك رسالة نصية عندما نترك لانسينج.

 

يجب أن يقوم الطلاب والمرافقون بتعبئة غداء يمكن التخلص منه لهذه الرحلة. يحتوي كل من الكابيتول والمتحف على صندوق تخزين للحفاظ على وجبات الغداء لدينا. يرجى تعبئة وجبات الغداء في أكياس الغداء المتاح وعدم إحضار زجاجات مياه قابلة لإعادة الاستخدام. إنه أكثر ملاءمة لرمي / إعادة تدوير جميع المهملات بمجرد الانتهاء من ذلك. يرجى تسمية حقيبة الغداء باسمك الكامل قبل الذهاب إلى المدرسة. يمكن للطلاب إحضار أموال ، ولكن ليس من الضروري شراء أي وجبات خفيفة إذا كانت متوفرة أو هدايا من محل بيع الهدايا إذا سمح الوقت بذلك.

 

يمكن للطلاب إحضار حقيبة سفر صغير ، لكن لا يتم تشجيعها. سيتعين عليهم التجول معهم على ظهورهم طوال الوقت.

 

لن يُسمح للطلاب بإحضار الإلكترونيات على متن الحافلة. لا يمكننا التأكد من أن هذه العناصر ستكون آمنة وأنه غير مسموح لها في الجولات. يمكنك إحضار كتاب جيد أو ألعاب ورق لتمضية الوقت ولكن عليك تركه على متن الحافلة! لذلك ، حافظ على حقائب الظهر المدرسية الخاصة بك في المنزل.

يرجى التأكد من ارتداء أحذية مريحة واللباس للطقس. سوف نسير من الكابيتول إلى المتحف. نود منك أيضًا ارتداء قميص جير بارك أو قميصًا أزرق.

 

شكرا لكم!

End of the Year Events and Student Behavior

Mrs. Srour came into our class to talk with the students about the end of the year events planned at Geer Park.  We discussed that, in order to have enough time for these events, student focus is important.  We talked about our give and take plan.  If a student takes time during instruction with behaviors that are off task, they need to give that time back during one of these events.

A note about this is going home today with the students.
