Museum field trip

We had a great time on our recent field trip to the Museum of Nature and Science to view the Titanic Artifacts exhibit and tour the rest of the museum. A big thank you to those parents and helpers to volunteered to chaperone small groups of students. It made the trip run so much more smoothly. Students really enjoyed the Titanic exhibit -- one security guard commented that this was the most engaged and interested group of kids she had seen so far! Students also visited the North American Indian Cultures Hall, and some chose to tour the Hall of Life, Gems and Minerals, Prehistoric Journey, Space Odyssey, and other areas of the museum. Since we've been back, several students have been writing about the Titanic in their notebooks, choosing to read books about TItanic during reading block, and even role-playing characters from the ship out on the playground! It was clearly a big hit. I would recommend visiting the exhibit while it is still at the museum. Check out the DMNS website for more info, and the listing of free days!
