The 2012-2013 school year has many field trip opportunities. We visiedt the Belwin Outdoor Science Learning Center for outdoor environmental learning on Oct. 24 and 25. We are planning to visit the Como Planetarium for the study of our solar system, the U of M Physics Force in January to experience science concepts within the study of Physics, and the Ordway Music Hall  in March to listen to and enjoy music selections from different cultures.  We also experience a week long study at STARBASE. We wil also be visiting STARBASE vin January. This is an intensive program in which students learn concepts involving space and physics around space colonization. We enjoyed an outdoor day at Fort Snelling State Park trying our skills at fishing and geo caching. Our last field trip will be a walking trip to Phalen Lake activity area near the end of the school year as a celebration of all our hard work during the school year.
