The digital guide includes pre-visit activities, an on-site scavenger hunt, and post-visit projects.
It encourages students and teachers to make a fall or winter visit to this special homegrown exhibit, which remains on view until March 18, 2012.
Support for this publication came from the Bradford Foundation, Sparetime Supply, Landcestry, Phyllis Curtis, and Cathy Monroe.
Guide activities link to science and history curriculum standards for grades fourth through sixth. Some activities will accommodate younger children and high school students.
Everyone, especially teachers and home schooling parents, is invited to view the guide at www.mendocinomuseum.org. It’s two clicks away under the heading “Carl Purdy.” The beauty of the digital model is that users may print out just the sections they want to use.
The museum, at 400 E. Commercial St, in Willits, is open Wednesdays through Sundays from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. For information, contact 707-459-2736 or visit www.MendocinoMuseum.org.

LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Each of the five school districts in Lake County offer Regional Occupational Programs known as ROPs.
These classes serve as the capstone in a series of Career Technical Education courses meant to teach students career ready skills.
On Friday, Oct. 28, ROP classes from two districts worked together to provide a great learning opportunity for Lower Lake Elementary kindergartners.
Lower Lake High School offers a ROP class called Careers with Children. Advanced students participate in a practicum class that allows them to serve as helpers in classrooms at Lower Lake Elementary.
On Oct. 28, eight of the high school students experienced the challenges of taking over 100 kindergartners on a field trip. Each high school student assisted a group of elementary students including riding the bus and wearing matching hand-painted shirts.
Their destination was to visit the Middletown High School pumpkin patch put on by the ROP Agriculture department.
Students from Middletown High School hosted more than 700 elementary students from across the county over a six-day period.
High school students manned a variety of action packed stations including a haunted house, bucking barrel, face painting, roping, painting trick or treat cans, making ghosts, petting goats and picking out their very own pumpkin.
Middletown has been hosting this event at the school farm for the last five years. All proceeds collected go directly to the school farm and agriculture program.
For more information on either of the high school programs, please contact the Lake County Office of Education Regional Occupational Program at 707-262-4164 or

On Oct. 28, members of Narcotics Anonymous came to Carlé and educated students on chemical dependency while sharing their experiences.
NA is an anonymous group who come together to give each other support and stay clean. They are nonjudgmental and encourage anyone to come to their meetings that are held all around the county. Carlé thanks them for their time and energy, and hopes to see them again this school year.
On Nov. 4, Leticia Bowman, Jesse Green, Joey Griffith, Tonya Smith, Dakota Taylor, and Jonathan Warren built bus shelters for Lake Transit. They worked with Superintendent Bill McDougall and did a wonderful job.
Carlé's Principal Mr. To stated that he was very proud of them and they represented Carlé well.
