Three of our elementary classes elected to participate in virtual, "live" ITV field trips this school year. Mrs. Kerkow's second grade class linked up with Weaver Lake Elementary School in Maple Grove, MN to meet and share their animal projects during Read Across the Planet week.
Mrs. Henk's and Mrs. Mork's classes visited the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo (Ohio) via a live link to participate in a program on wolves. St. Croix Falls elementary students met and competed against students with a school in New York and a school in Ohio in a "wolf trivia" contest. The cost of these programs vary from free to minimal and are available to school districts in our area. Students may participate in a variety of field trips without ever having to leave their classrooms.
