The school is responsible for ordering and paying for bus transportation. Also, when placing your ticket order, please indicate if any of the students have special needs (hearing impairment, wheelchair, etc.) If possible, familiarize your students about space, and the solar system.
I can learn about the solar system by watching a performance. I can learn about cooperating with others by watching this performance.
When the class gets lost on the way to the planetarium, Ms. Frizzle saves the day by blasting into outer space for an epic inter-planetary field trip! But when rivalries both old and new threaten to tear the students apart, our young heroes must learn to pull together or risk getting forever lost in the solar system. Hop on the Magic School Bus for a ride in Theatreworks USA's new musical adaptation based on the original book series published by Scholastic. Curriculum Connections: Communication and Language Arts, Music, Science, Social Studies.
There will be 250 tickets available for each performance of this show. Teachers must provide an exact count when ordering the number of tickets needed for all students, teachers, and chaperones.
