🐟 Egg-citing News Alert! 🥚 Our school is about to get fin-tastic! 🌈 Rainbow trout eggs have arrived, and these little swimmers are ready to turn into an underwater adventure of learning. Who's ready to watch nature's coolest classroom transformation? Stay tuned for tiny fish, big learning, and maximum cuteness!

🎨 Art you ready for a masterpiece of a museum? The MIA's got 90,000 reasons to fall in love with culture! Our school's Out of the Classroom field trip last Friday was EPIC! 🚌 From ancient artifacts to modern marvels, we're not just collecting art – students had their jaws-droppings and minds-blown across 5,000 years and six continents. Who said learning can't be a total canvas-sation starter? Come brush up on your creativity and palette-ate some world-class wonders!🖌️✨ #TerraNovaMN #OutoftheClassroomInotheWorld#ArtSmart #MinneapolisArtInstitute #CultureCentrals

The sound waves seminar struck another cord with their visit to the Schubert Club Music Museum on Friday. This neat and upbeat Music Museum on the second floor of Landmark Center in downtown Saint Paul provided inspiration, learning, fun and interactivity for students as they made their way through the galleries hearing and playing instruments from around the globe, either hands-on or through technology. The Museum’s collections come to life through audio and visual recordings telling the story of our historical keyboards and manuscripts. #terranovamn #outoftheclassroomintotheworld #wavesandmusic

🎼Terra Nova struck a harmonious chord 🎶 while at the MN Orchestra today! As part of a wave-y seminar (get it?), the students were able to dive deep into the sound-sational world of acoustical engineering. They were totally amped up, their ears still ringing with musical excitement and ready to resonate with the architectural acoustics that make sound truly come alive. 🎚️ The venue itself was an acoustic playground, promising to conduct an educational experience that would sound just right to these budding engineers. Who knew learning about sound waves could be music to their ears? Thanks, Greg and Drew, for composing this idea! 🎛️#TerraNovaWaves #OutoftheClassroomIntotheWorld #TerraNovaMN #ExperienitalLearning #MNOrchestraHall

We had another helpful group of students attend the Buffalo Community Center's community Zingo event today! #BuffaloZingo #OutoftheClassroomIntotheWorld #helpingourcommunity

🌲 Forest-tastic news alert! 🍃 We're officially branching out and have our own certified Minnesota DNR School Forest! Who knew learning could be this rooted in nature? From textbooks to tree-books, we're taking education to new heights – literally! Shoutout to our awesome staff and students for making this green dream a reality. Nature: we're not just studying it, we're GROWING it! 🌿📚 #MNDNRSchoolForest #MinnesotaProud #OutoftheClassroomIntotheWorld #TerraNovaMN

🌍 Craig and Chris's World Cultures seminar had a test run today where students received feedback on their project to prepare for our annual World Cultures Fair happening next Friday, Dec. 13th!

Today was something special on campus! Our community circles came full circle with advisory games that had everyone smiling. Speaking of which, our talks were pure fire 🔥 - or should we say pure H2? From hydrogen to healthy habits, the knowledge dropped harder than our afternoon energy levels! And don't get us started on those exhibits - our school animals stole the show (they're such ham-sters for attention), while the healthy food exhibit and presentation had everyone's mouth watering.🥗 Just another day of going around in the best kind of circles! #TerraNovaMN #TerraNovaNorms #ExperientialLearning #ProjectBasedLearning

From classroom to career: Our owls soar in incredible directions! 🦉 Meet Jaina, who turned her love for animals into action during her wildlife nursery internship at the Wildlife Rehabilitation Center. From nursing injured creatures back to health to advanced skills like administering many types of medications, Jaina is already making her mark in wildlife conservation. We're proud to see our alumni spreading their wings and chasing their dreams. Where will your passion take you? #TerraNovaMN #OutoftheClassroomIntotheWorld #OwlsPursuePassions #WildlifeConservation #AlumniSpotlight

We're excited to share our 2nd visit to the Buffalo Community Center! Thanks to these boys and our group last week for volunteering at the Buffalo Community Center’s weekly BINGO event. #buffalomn #terranovamn #outoftheclassroomintotheworld #community

Brick by brick, these little engineers are building their dreams! 🧱🚀 Teamwork makes the dream work when you've got imagination and interlocking plastic possibilities. Who says collaboration can't be totally CONSTRUC-TIVE? 😂 #LEGOLife #KidsinAction #TerraNovaMN

Exciting day with our Conservation Crew! 🌱 Our student team is hard at work nurturing native prairie plants in our greenhouse, preparing to restore local ecosystems. Every seedling we grow helps bring back the beautiful grasslands that are so crucial to our region's biodiversity. Proud of these young environmental champions making a real difference, one plant at a time! #ConservationMN #TerraNovaMN #Handsonlearning #NativePrairie

Our Give to the Max campaign is live! 🏀🎾Jump in and support our sport court! 🏓We are hoping to raise funds for a new multi-purpose sports court on our campus. This court will provide students with a dedicated space to stay active, play sports, and develop important physical, social, and teamwork skills. Regular physical activity has been shown to improve student focus, mood, and overall health and wellness.

“No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.” —Aesop “A single act of kindness throws out roots in all directions, and the roots spring up and make new trees.” —Amelia Earhart We embraced World Kindness Day at Terra Nova. #terranovamn #terranovanorms #makekindnessthenorm #worldkindnessday

Our Conservation Crew has officially adopted 2 drains with @adoptadrainmn and started the process to adopt a stormwater pond with the City of Buffalo. This is a volunteer program that involves cleaning our stormwater drains and stormwater ponds for cleaner waterways and healthier communities. Storm drains flow directly to local lakes, rivers, and wetlands, acting as a conduit for trash and organic pollutants. Adopt-a-Drain asks residents to adopt a storm drain in their neighborhood and keep it clear of leaves, trash, and other debris to reduce water pollution. https://mn.adopt-a-drain.org/ #adoptadrainmn #conservationminnesota #conservationcrew #terranovamn #outoftheclassroomintotheworld #communityconnections

Today, we honor and give thanks to the brave men and women who have served our country. Their sacrifices have helped protect the freedoms we all enjoy. To all our veterans, we are forever grateful for your service. #VeteransDay #OutoftheClassroomIntotheWorld
