The Passport Club at Redmond Elementary

I am Red, the bear, and I travel around
the world for the Passport Club!







If you would like to know more about my adventures and the places I have seen, check out my blog at www.travelpod.com.

The purpose of the Passport Club is to get students excited about geography, and to provide them with accurate and interesting study materials that keep pace with our ever-changing world. It is an individualized, sequential, year-long program which is designed to enhance the current social studies curriculum. The basic goal of the program is to learn the location of some, or all, of the world's countries, as well as other major geographic locations such as continents and oceans. A child who progresses through the program during elementary school, should enter middle school with a feeling of confidence about geography and a very high retention level. Different levels make this program accessible to all ages.

Support the Passport Club!

• Help your child get prepared for Passport Check Day. Practice with your child at home – a few minutes two times a week is all it takes (and you can update your own geography skills too!). The Passport Club is, among other things, a great game. You and your child can quiz each other, have fun together and share the joy of learning.
• Volunteer to do Passport Club activities for your child’s class.
• Volunteer for one Check Day or other Passport activities, such as geography or cultural displays or cutting stamps from home. Running the Passport Club requires a great deal of volunteers, especially on Passport Check Day. Spread the news! The Passport Club welcomes:
  • Parents and guardians
  • Grandparents, older siblings, aunts and uncles, family friends
  • Anybody with a wish to help children and increase their own knowledge of the world in the process
  • English Language Learners are welcome! We would be delighted if you could share some facts about your country of origin with our students!
• To volunteer, please contact the Passport Club Coordinator at passportclub@redmondelptsa.org, or 425-881-3402 (también en español). By signing up for one or two (or more!) Passport Check dates this year, you will be opening a whole new world to your child and all the students at Redmond Elementary.
