Explorer Trading Card
Students' Explorer Trading Card is due this Friday, Nov. 1. We began this research project 3 weeks ago. Students were given an outline and rubric for the project, as well as, a note taking guide. Computer and library times were used for research. I provided students with maps and poster board for creating the "trading card." Late trading cards will not be accepted.
Virginia City Field Trip
Thank you to all the parents that volunteered to chaperon on our recent Virginia City field trip. We had an amusing time learning about Virginia City's past population by reading tombstones in the Silver Terrace Cemeteries. Lunch was enjoyed in historic Piper's Opera House listening to the superintendent of Storey Count Schools explain a about the history of the opera house. We finished up our trip with a visit to Fourth Ward School to learn about turn of the century schools and tour the Mark Twain Room and the Nevada Mining Association's Mining Room. The students were on their best behavior and enthusiastic learners!
