Vose Elementary School hasn't added a story.
The BEF Building
STEAM 4 All initiative will match all donations. Just $500
to raise!
Your support will ensure all Vose Elementary 3rd graders can visit OMSI have access to cultural learning opportunities that will introduce them to unparalleled, hands-on STEAM education. Our goal is for no students to pay for admission for field trips as to avoid shaming or embarrassment, and ensure access to all.
The current Marvel exhibit showcases comics, which correlates with the comic book writing unit our 3rd graders just finished in writing. What a great opportunity to see the style of writing we just studied transformed into popular movies.
OMSI is a beneficial place for 3rd graders to experience science concepts they are learning in the classroom. The different learning stations will be a great opportunity for students to practice the learning objectives they’ve been discussing and practicing in the classroom during science and social science lessons. These include:
-Making observations and/or measurements of an object’s motion to provide evidence that a pattern can be used to predict future motion.
-Planning and carrying out fair tests in which variables are controlled and failure points are considered to identify aspects of a model or prototype that can be improved.
- Making a claim about the merit of a design solution that reduces the impacts of a weather-related hazard.
- Analyzing different ways that people, other living things, and the environment might be affected by an event, issue, or problem.
This is also our first year teaching Habits of Mind. OMSI is a great location to practice these habits in small groups outside of the classroom learning environment.
Focuses attention to pursue curiosity, respond to a challenge, and explore an idea.
Makes connections, notices relationships, and organizes ideas.
Communicates ideas, thoughts, and emotions using words, materials, images, and/or positive gestures.
Collaborates with others to accomplish a shared goal by listening and building on others’ ideas.
Thinks strategically, creatively, and reflectively.
Our school is contributing $1,000 to the field trip total as well as our parent community group contributing $607.50 for the cost of transportation. We unfortunately are still $500 short of being able to pay for our trip to OMSI. The cost breakdown to attend OMSI is:
$9 per student and chaperone (137 students and 27 chaperones: $1,476)
$3 per teacher (8 teachers: $24)
Thank you for helping our field trip dream of going to OMSI become a reality!
