Field Trip to Des Moines











On March 29, the 5th graders boarded the bus to Des Moines. First, the visited the Iowa Hall of Pride. They watched a short video showcasing the great opportunities for people in Iowa. Then the students went on a scavenger hunt in groups to find information and famous Iowans in the Hall of Pride. Students also did activities such as walked on a treadmill, announced a game like a broadcaster, sang songs, and played virtual basketball. Many of the students favorite part was the game room. Every student received tokens and could play games such as electronic jumproping, basketball, football throw, soccer, hockey, and dancing.


They ended their day at the Civic Center watching Freedom Train. They were mesmerized by the singing and storyline of Harriet Tubman's life.
