Materials from the N. W. Harris Learning Collection at The Field Museum provide a unique and exciting way to engage students in scientific practices, develop critical thinking skills, and pique curiosity about Earth’s natural and cultural diversity. From a skunk specimen to SUE’s tooth to a ceremonial mask from Cameroon, the N. W. Harris Learning Collection at The Field Museum gives educators and parents a chance to take the Museum's collection to their classroom or home. Borrow these specimens, artifacts, and related curricular materials for up to one month, and when you return your borrowed treasures, peruse the over 100-year-old Learning Collection to take something new.
Thanks to the financial support of Ray Administration, The English Language Learners of Ray School will be exposed to 10 items from the N.W. Harris Learning Collection. So far, we have investigated 4 items, and they have been amazing! Click on the links below to see what we have been experiencing in class. 1) Arctic Wildlife 2) Bite, Tear, Chew 3) Sea Life 4) Animal Coverings Clickhttps://arts.uchicago.edu/explore/amplify-k%E2%80%9312-arts-learning-programs

Each matinee features world class artists in engaging educational presentations. Our matinee programs also include teacher workshops prior to each performance designed to support educators in connecting field trip experience with classroom learning and common core learning standards. Our innovative field trips introduce youth to a diverse range of experiences providing opportunities for dynamic learning, critical inquiry, and cultural engagement. Ray School's English Language Learners have the honor of attending 4 performances throughout this school year. Click on the link to see the preparation you child will receive prior to the performance (updated 1 week before performance). 1) Bomba Con Buya 2) Step Afrika 3) World is Rhythm Poetry Festival 4) Stories Around the World If you are interested in chaperoning, please complete the CPS volunteer form and once approved, join us! Even if you are not Muslim, it would be very beneficial to download a FREE app for your smart phone called Scan Halal. It is an easy app to use. All you do is scan the barcode of any food item, and the app with tell you if it is Halal or not, why the item is considered Halal or not, and an alternative product if it is not Halal. If you are buying snacks or treats for your child's classroom, this is any easy way to know all children can partake. And fruit is always a safe bet!
