Audubon Center Fieldtrip
The SHAS 4th, 5th, and 6th graders, along with 8 parents and 2 teachers, attended the Audubon Center of the Northwoods, near Sandstone, Minnesota, November 14-16, for a fascinating 3 day, 2 night ecological adventure. As part of this educational experience students participated in forest nature quests, supervised up close encounters with forest animals, predator/prey role playing games, a high ropes confidence building course, KP (kitchen patrol) duty, and much more. This field trip is a highlight for our intermediate students and has been a tradition for the past 14 years, made on alternating years with the traditional State Capitol/Science Museum field trip. “Two thumbs up” for the Audubon Center!
Happy Holidays from the 5th Grade
The fifth graders have worked very hard the past month, learning their parts for the Christmas program. They did a great job!!
We did try to squeeze in a bit of academics also. They now know how to divide with 2 digit divisors. In social, we learned about the first English colonies in America.
Merry Christmas and Best wishes for a wonderful 2012!
