The following field trips are tentatively being planned:
- Ringling Museum-(Friday, Oct 6) Lessons based on the ELA literary element standard of Setting. Authors use Setting to establish the time, place, and social conditions in which a story takes place. We will visit the art museum, circus museum, the Ca’ D’Zan Estate, and Bayfront Gardens to give students the opportunity to explore similar settings that are described in our classroom novel studies.
- Cracker Country- (TBD) Lessons are based on the Social Studies standard of pioneer life in Florida. Students will discover the daily lives of Florida’s pioneers. Spend the morning immersed in a rural Florida community of the past and learn how a late 19th century rural family survived. Students will dip a candle, visit a train station, and shop in the Cracker Country General Store.
- LegoLand – (TBD) Lessons are based on Energy and Motion. Students will experience roller coasters that rely on the fundamental principles of physics and engineering.
