Check out this video produced by National Geographic. I will be showing it to my class and discussing it. I also posted a link posted to the NG website which will take you to an interactive feature about the world of 7 billion.

Chinatown Field Trip - Friday, March 4

We are currently planning an all day experience in Chinatown for Friday, March 4. The plan is to leave the middle campus after a short meeting and attendance being taken. All of 5/6H will be joining us, so we will have a large group this year! Due to the fact that the bus will only seat 70 students, we are in need of parent chaperones who are willing to lead a group and drive either students or parents to Chinatown. Our plan is to divide the classes into small groups of 5 or so students and assign one or more chaperones to a group, depending on how many parents volunteer. The students will have a booklet containing a walking map of Chinatown with some questions to answer along the way.

If you are interested in spending the day with us in Chinatown on March 4, please send a note or an email to your child's teacher by Thursday, February 24. (We can't do this field trip without chaperones.)
