This year, students in my class will take part in a Visalia, Tulare County, and California
Scavenger Hunt as their Open House Project. Collected items will be displayed in a scrapbook,
which will be due May 13, 2009. Each item has a designated point value and it is possible to
earn up to 200 points! Students' goal is to try to get at least 125 points. Some of these items
are easy to find and may even be found at school. Others may require a little extra effort.
Scrapbook creativity is very important and can add up to 25 points alone.
Have fun searching and exploring this tremendous city, county, and state of ours!
