Our 5th graders at EES had a pretty awesome hands-on learning experience this week! 🐛
They got to take part in “Bugs in the Classroom” with Dean Hansen from the University of Minnesota. Dr. Hansen brought along some of the coolest aquatic bugs you’ve ever seen and shared his knowledge in a way that really got students engaged and curious.
It’s always an exciting project for our 5th graders, and we appreciate the support of the KiapTUWish Chapter of Trout Unlimited in making experiences like this possible.
The best part? Students will get to see some of these same types of bugs again when they do their trout release later this month in Trimbelle Creek! 🐟
What a great way to connect classroom learning to real-world experiences right here in our community. Panther Pride! 💜
