Upcoming History Field Trip – “Museum of Man”
With our unit on early man under way, I thought it would be great for our class to take a field trip to The Museum of Man.
Thanks to Casey Murphy, we are all set for 11/1 @ 12:30. We plan to leave OTA at 11:00 for a picnic lunch in the park before going into the museum. Cost is $8 per child.
- We will need parent drivers.
- It would be great to have 6 chaperones.
- Please e-mail me if you are available.
Thank you!
