Field Trip to SF Zoo- Can you Come?

Hello Parents, 

Since our next field trip is very soon after we return from Christmas break, I am looking to secure 2 more chaperones before the Christmas break.

The field trip will be to San Francisco Zoo, on Tuesday, January 16th.

If you would be happy to volunteer your time please email me. If you have previously chaperoned, please know you're welcome to again.

Use the rough draft you made in class to help you. Your family tree should date back to your grandparents. If you can go farther or want to include more extended relatives, please do so. If your family and you do not know the name of a relative, make it up. No one will know. Please draw or attach a picture of each person in your family tree.

Also there is a regular sized white paper in the red folder for you to use, but if you want to use your own paper and make it bigger please do so.

Discuss the family tree with your parents. What traditions are passed down in your family tree? Practice reading and discussing your family tree at home. You will be presenting them next week. Turn in your Family Tree on Monday, October 30th.
