Big River Journey!

We had a great field trip down the Mississippi River. The kids completed some science stations on the boat and then learned about the history or landscape of Fort Snelling State Park. What is one thing you learned or remember from the trip?

    1 thing I remember is the crime lab at station #3. We found out that littering on the street is bad for the Mississippi. posted as 11.Linden
