Our fourth graders took their learning to new heights with an exciting visit to the Air and Space Center! As part of their study of the solar system, they explored exhibits about planets, spacecraft, and the technology that makes space exploration possible. From learning how astronauts travel to far-off worlds to seeing models of the rovers that explore Mars, this hands-on experience brought their classroom lessons to life and inspired their curiosity about the universe. What an out-of-this-world adventure 🪐🚀🔭 #SnapshotsofLearning
