A.Blair Mc
Pherson’s
Night at the
Museum
2011-2012
What is Museum SchoolAt Museum School:• Students will participate in a unique week long
opportunity to explore the Royal Alberta Museum
• We will have our own education tour guide (Jessica)
• We will use the museum as our classroom to learn more about Alberta
At Museum SchoolStudents will:
• Interview museum experts (paleontologists, archeologists, gemologists etc.)
• Be given an opportunity to experience and learn about Alberta’s story as told by each of the different departments at the museum
• be taught how to capture what they see and learn in a journal • expand on what they discovered at the museum back at school• develop a familiarity of the galleries and collections and
experience a change in the way they look at their community, province, and themselves
• Create their own museum exhibit back at school
When is Museum School• Our class has been assigned the week of
January 23 to 27th to attend Museum School• We will leave the school on a yellow bus every
day at 9 and return to the school by 3.
Save that Date!Jan. 23 -27
How can Parents/ Guardians Help
• During Museum School, we will require four volunteers each day
• It would be ideal if volunteers were available for consecutive days
• In the event that this cannot be arranged, a schedule will be set-up to ensure that we have proper supervision
• This will be a wonderful opportunity for parents and students alike
Cost• Museum School is largely subsided by: Forest
Resource Improvement Association of Alberta, Valley of Edmonton, Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry and Ann Paterson.
• However, there is still a minimal cost for the week and the transportation cost. The exact amount will be given when the permission form is sent home.

Night at the Museum• Prior to our visit to the museum, we will be
regularly preparing in order to get the most out of our visit
• After Museum School, pairs of students will be preparing their own exhibit
• Students exhibits will be shared on a special evening

Sneak Peak at the Museum In August, I had a special opportunity to visit
the museum for two days to preview the museum, prepare for Museum School, and had a remarkable opportunity to see behind the scenes (students will be able to see behind the scenes as well)
