An awesome field trip!

We had a wonderful field trip to the Museum of Transportation. Although the 85 degree weather came as a shock ("Mrs. McCallister, I am incredibly parched"), we enjoyed our time learning about modes of transportation from today and long ago. Thank you to our wonderful parent volunteers. We appreciate your time and effort. We are fortunate to have such a wonderful class community!

Tomorrow your child will bring home a wooden train and a free child's pass to the Museum of Transportation.


We started our field trip adventures by learning about different types of trains. We then built wooden trains (thank you parent volunteers!).

We had a grand conversation based on our wondering in this picture of a streetcar in Saint Louis. The students have grown tremendously by growing topics that they feel are worthy of discussing.
