College Field Trip

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. ****

Music Field Trip on Next Friday

Don't forget that we have a field trip next Friday, November 11th. A note was sent home two weeks ago in your child's Friday folder. In case you didn't received the note from our music teacher, Mrs. Ritter, here is a reminder of what it stated...




Dear Parents and Friends of 4th and 5th graders—

I hope this message finds you well! I want to inform you about an upcoming music field trip opportunity for our 4th and 5th grade students. On Friday November 11th, students will go to Ann Arbor to see a live performance by the “Rebirth Brass Jazz Band” from New Orleans! This dynamic group is both known for their traditional brass sound, as well as their combination of funk, jazz, soul and hip-hop, while celebrating the traditional New Orleans music traditions and heritage. Prior to the field trip, students will be learning about the origins of jazz, and the importance of New Orleans in the birth of this musical style. 

The cost to attend this field trip is $10, which includes bussing to Ann Arbor, and concert ticket. Students will leave UPA at 9:30 to attend the 11:00 performance.

If your student will be attending, please send them with $10 to their classroom teacher by Friday, Novemeber 4th. Also, if you are willing to be a parent chaperone on the trip, please email me at kritter@uprep.com.

Thanks and I look forward to sharing this fantastic musical experience with your students!

--Ms. Ritter
