2nd grade visits the Grand Rapids Public Museum

 On March 5, the second graders had the opportunity to go to the Grand Rapids Public Museum on a field trip. The students first started out at the Roger B. Chaffee Planetarium.  Our presenter told them all about the upcoming eclipse and then we watched a show on meteorites and asteroids called: Incoming!  From there we were able to explore the museum for a bit with our parent chaperones.  

After that, we all came back together and had a tour of The Streets of Grand Rapids.  Our presenter took us through a re-creation of Grand Rapids in the 1890’s.  They were able to tour the department store, the drug store, and the print shop.  At each stop our guide would teach them about the place and show them artifacts from the era. We had a great morning visiting the Grand Rapids Public Museum!
