Thanks to a generous gift from the family of FeederWatch participant John Waud, in honor of his late wife Doris Waud, who was a long-time public school teacher, and was actively involved in the creation of Classroom FeederWatch at the Cornell Lab. Terra Nova was chosen among 50 schools for this upcoming year's Project FeederWatch. Our participation fee was covered by this gift. This is a great project to help students become citizen scientists right from our campus's backyard. #cornelllabofornithology #projectfeederwatch #waudscholarship #terranovamn #outoftheclassroomintotheworld #birdsarecool
The first Terra Nova Trails St. Croix canoe trip went great this past week! The weather was great, the river was beautiful and the kids had a blast.

Students learn valuable skills and develop relationships when engaging in experiential learning opportunities. Out of the Classroom, Into the World! #tallships2024 #terranovamn #outoftheclassroomintotheworld #experientiallearning
Over the last two weeks, Alex and Les led 12 of our students on an amazing out-of-the-classroom experience to the Apostle Islands. This is our fourth year working with Lake Superior Tall Ships and Captain Gordon Ringberg. Students learn how to sail, navigate, explore individual Apostle Islands, and learn about the geography and history of the region. We had an incredible time and look forward to more adventures on Lake Superior next year. #tallships2024 #terranovamn #outoftheclassroomintotheworld #experientiallearning
It's the Thursday of National Pollinator Week. Here are some fun facts about the importance of pollinators who are often keystone species, meaning that they are critical to an ecosystem. The work of pollinators ensures full harvests of crops and contributes to healthy plants everywhere. An estimated 1/3 of all foods and beverages are delivered by pollinators. In the U.S., pollination produces nearly $20 billion worth of products annually.

With the sun shining today, we are celebrating another day of National Pollinator Week! Here are a few things you can do to help:
1. be kind
2. don’t touch (they are fragile)
3. don’t use poison or sprays
4. plant prairie! --> This is a project that our students participate in every year!

Do you have milkweed in your yard? You can help celebrate Pollinators Week AND provide data to science! This is an easy project to engage students (and adults) of all ages. Terra Nova students found a Monarch chrysalis within the first week back to school last fall, so our hopes are high for our campus. Check out the MONARCH LARVA MONITORING PROJECT (MLMP) that involves volunteers from around the world in monarch research. Go to https://mlmp.org/ to learn more or to find more projects check out https://www.pollinator.org/pollinator-week! #mlmp #terranovamn #pollinatorweek #pollinatorsareawesome #monarchcatterpillars

Last day 23-24 moments ~ Time with friends are times we'll cherish. #terranovamn
We couldn't say it better than our student, Flynn, who shared during our all school circle today, "the real Terra Nova is the friends we made along the way." What an end to another amazing year. We'll miss daily advisory, we'll miss the conversations, we'll miss the passion projects, we'll miss the smiles and we'll miss our community. Thank you to all the students, staff and families for making our first year as Terra Nova amazing. But next year will be even better... Bring it on for our 10th year in 24-25! We'll see you in the fall y'all! #terranovamn #outoftheclassroomintotheworld
We were keepin' it reel today at Schroeder Park at our last all-school experience for the 23-24 school year.

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
