We hope everyone is having a good weekend before we get into our last week of the 23-24 school year. Remember there is no school tomorrow, Monday, May 27th in observance of Memorial Day. As we commemorate the day, take a moment to honor the memory of those who have served our country with courage and sacrifice. We also have an all-school experience at Schroeder Park on Cedar Lake on Thursday and Friday is the last day with an early dismissal at 12:30 PM. #memorialday #terranovamn #outoftheclassroomintotheworld #lastdaycountdown

Terra Nova had two students represent our school at this year's Conversation Crew Celebration! This hands on project is part of a partnership with Conservation Minnesota. We're excited for next year and the kids are collecting a lot of cool ideas to make into projects. #terranovamn #outoftheclassroomintotheworld #conservationmn #terranovaconservationcrew
219 Rainbow trout were released today in Stillwater at Brown's Creek! The Trout in the Classroom (TIC) group traversed the muddy bank to bring the trout to their new home. Big thanks to Justin, an alumnus of ours, came with to help as a veteran TIC participant and assisted with the release. We then went over to the St Croix River and attempted some midday fishing along the lift bridge. The TIC program is a partnership between the MN DNR, Trout Unlimited and schools across the state. Until next year, peace out, Terra Nova trout. #troutintheclassroommn #terranovamn #outoftheclassroomintotheworld #terranovatrout
We had a blast at Theodore Wirth Park in Minneapolis today! Volleyball, fun, great weather, and great people. #outoftheclassroomintotheworld #terranovamn #theodorewirthpark

This week we started our final sections of PBL seminars. Many of our seminars this month are focused on health and the outdoors. Our first highlight is Jess's archery seminar with a shout-out to our student seminar assistants Dennis, Noah, and Ben! It's not just about hitting the target, but about peer leadership, indigenous history, and physics (force and energy). Check back to see which seminar we highlight next! #terranovamn #archeryishealthy #outoftheclassroom #experientiallearning #MayPBLseminars
