Murphy Elementary School

Students at Murphy Elementary School share teachers in 4th grade (Fideldy for Math, Bruemmer for Social Studies, and Locken for Science).  This project is for a year end experiential learning project.  Students from Murphy Elementary School’s 4th grade classes will actively participate in an over-night field trip to the Science Museum of Minnesota.

The first stop on the trip is to the Como Park Zoo for lunch and zoo tours.  The second stop is the Minnesota State Capital for a tour and meet and greet with area legislators.  Last year students were able to meet Saxhaug and Anzelc.  Students two years ago met Saxhaug and were able to observe a large gathering in the rotunda (democratic process).  The final stop is an overnight stay at the Science Museum of Minnesota (students sleep in an exhibit).  Students tour the museum, participate in classes, and wrap up the final morning with an iMAX movie.
