Smith Ranch was fun!

Dear Families,

Thank you to all the supportive parents that drove to Smith Ranch on a field trip yesterday. The scenery driving there and in Julian was beautiful! The students and parents had a great time at the ranch and learned things like how heavy gold is, how to pan for gold, what the Pony Express drivers from that time were paid, and the type of rock to look for if you are mining for gold. They went into a mine in a mining car, listened to a letter written by a civil war soldier, and crossed a little pond on a rope bridge! A few of us stopped to pick up a Julian apple pie!

Please remember that California STAR testing starts tomorrow. Making sure your child gets a good night sleep, eats breakfast, and is here at 9am will contribute to a relaxed ready student. Thank you fo your help!

Kim
