Terra Nova School -

All aboard! 🚂 Last Friday, Maria and Greg took experiential learning to the next level through learning about different modes of public transit. We hopped on the NorthStar train, hitched a ride on the lightrail, and even caught a bus - it was a real transportation sensation! 🚌🚉 We learned some valuable skills like reading schedules, purchasing tickets, and navigating terminals. By the end, we were pros at getting from point A to point B. 🗺️ No more being passengers in the game of life for us! #terrranovamn #outoftheclassroomintotheworld

🦇Terra Nova is celebrating Bat Week! 🦇Bat Week is an international, annual celebration designed to raise awareness about the need for bat conservation. Bats are amazing creatures that are vital to the health of our natural world and economy. Although we may not always see them, bats are hard at work all around the world each night - eating tons of insects🦟, pollinating flowers🌺, and spreading seeds that grow new plants and trees 🌱. We are proud to share that our partnership with Legacy 2 Inspire (mobile woodshop) is teaching students how to build bat houses to go up on our campus! ⛺ Visit BatWeek.org for more information. #BatWeek #TerraNovaMN #Legacy2Inspire #Batsarecool

There's a very special light show event happening this evening across the northern part of the US - which includes us! The northern lights are created when energized particles from the sun slam into Earth's upper atmosphere, and our planet's protective magnetic field deflects them like a shield. This colorful collision results in spectacular nighttime dancing lights. To learn more checkout NOAA's aurora forecast. https://www.spaceweather.gov/products/aurora-viewline-tonight-and-tomorrow-night-experimental Enjoy the view tonight! #outoftheclassroomintotheworld #auroraborealis
