2nd Grade Field Trip

On Thursday, the 2nd graders went on their field trip which included a few locations.  They started the day at a local farm owned by the Taylors and Troendles.  The students learned about the animals and how the farm works.  Our next stop was the news station KTTC in Rochester.  It was fun for the kids to meet Jessica Abrahamson and Ted Schmidt.  There were many questions for Ted about how weather is forecasted, and of course their favorite part, the green screen.  Many students remembered to wear green so as to disappear as they went across the screen.  Our final stop was at Silver Lake Park where they were able to enjoy the equipment and a few baseball games.

First Grade Fieldtrip

Yesterday the kindergartners and first graders had a wonderful day spent in LaCrosse.  Our day started with the play "Jack and the Beanstalk" which was performed at Viterbo College.  We then headed over to Myrick Park for lunch.  There was a variety of climbing, hanging, and sandcastle building areas for the kids to play in.  In the afternoon we visited the nature center and learned about insects, and we even had the chance to be scientists and go exploring for them.  It was just a perfect day, except according to the students, it went too fast!
