For Wednesday:
-Reading: Read chapters 29-30 in Holes and write a title for each.
-Career Project: Bring in the address of the person you interviewed for your project, and your own mailing address too so we can send off your Thank-You letters on Wednesday. Parents, please double check the addresses to make sure they're correct and include zip codes.
-Friday Field Trip Info: On Friday, May 18, the class will be taking a hiking field trip to Bandelier National Monument near Los Alamos.
During the morning, we’ll take a 2 ½ mile loop hike on Tsankawi Mesa to tour Ancestral Pueblo cliff dwellings. In the afternoon, we’ll have a picnic lunch, and then hike down the Frey Trail into Frijoles Canyon about 2 ½ more miles to explore the main ruins. Students should be prepared for the elements and wear sturdy sneakers or hiking boots, and a hat to block the sun. They should also bring a small backpack with sunscreen, their own lunch, and at least one water bottle.
The trip will cost $8 for bus transportation. Please send cash, or an $8 check made out to the school. We were granted an educational waiver from the National Park Service for this visit, so there is no charge for our group to enter Bandelier. If we have time, we’ll stop for ice cream at the Dairy Queen in Espanola our way back to Taos, so kids should bring an extra $5 or so cash for that stop.
Students should be at school ready to go at 8:15 a.m., and we’ll return by 5:00 p.m. Please send in the bus fee and permission slip on Wednesday or Thursday. Thanks! MB
