Field Trip to the University of Michigan

IT’S TIME FOR OUR COLLEGE VISIT!

Students have been working to complete all phases of the college project, including sending business letters to colleges for information and goodies, completing a college vocabulary book, pulling out important facts and figures from their chosen college and comparing those facts and figures with a partner’s college.  They’ve started working on their feature articles, which will ultimately “sell” their college at the college fair.

We will be taking the students to the University of Michigan on April 5^th for an all day tour of the campus.  Students will learn about the different schools, buildings, and dorms and we will eat lunch at several of the dorm cafeterias, courtesy of the university. Students must be at school on time (8:30) to prepare for the trip.  Any students who are not at the school by the time the bus leaves will not be able to go on the trip. 

This trip is a privilege for students who have completed all requirements of the college project so far and whose behavior has shown that they will make good choices outside of the school building. Teachers will be determining who will be invited to go based on the requirements and behavior.

The cost of the trip is $5. This money needs to be turned in to teachers by April 4^th.

Students will need to bring the following items for the trip:

·      They are to dress in uniform for the trip.

·      Comfortable walking shoes (not necessarily uniform)

·      Sunscreen (if desired)

·      Hat (if desired)

·      Sunglasses (if desired)

·      Disposable camera (if desired)

****We go rain or shine, so students need to be prepared. ****
