Field trips to local parks, art galleries, museums, local farms, Science Center, Harmony Coop, Concordia Language Villages and more. Some Field Trips will be walking field trips and begin and/or end at Apple Blossom for ease of drop off/pick up. We plan to take our learning further away 3 - 4 times over the school year.
