We asked the Penn Museum if parents not chosen as chaperones may drive down separately to attend the field trip.
Below is their response:
PENN MUSEUM: To be honest that would not be ideal (or really permitted). It would through off the allowed number of people in the building (we have a capacity that we abide by) and it would also probably make it more difficult for you and your group leaders to keep things in order. They would not be able to be with the groups, since the groups have a determined amount of students and chaperones.
Parent chaperones selected for the field trip-
Mr. Houk, Mrs. Lucci, Mr. Palermo,
Mrs. Schatz, Mrs. Stelacio, Mrs. Valbueno
ELA Testing
The students will be given a comprehension & vocabulary test for the story of the week on weeks 1,3 & 5 of a Journeys reading unit.
On week 2 the students will complete a speaking/listening activity.
On week 4 they will complete a skills in context assessment (they are given a story to read for the first time & will immediately answer comprehension questions).
On week 6 the students will complete a Benchmark/Unit Test or read a Journeys trade book.
Grammar & Spelling Quizzes will be given each week we read a story.
Some weeks the Grammar morning work will be graded in place of the quiz.
The students will not have formal Spelling Tests. Spelling words will be included in a multiple choice format on the weekly grammar & spelling quiz. Spelling will also be graded in writing pieces the students submit.
