Planetarium and Children’s Museum Field Trip
Mrs. Booth, Mrs. Vukmanic and I are going be working on a project this year centered around our new SOAR Encore class. Our project launch will be a field trip to the planetarium at the Children’s Museum of Virginia on Tuesday, December 3rd. When we return from the field trip, each class will explore the things they saw and experiences at the planetarium. Based on this information, we will form the driving question for our project.
