Horizon Elementary Fourth graders had a day of interactive learning during their field trip to The Old Courthouse Museum and EROS Data Center, Wednesday, November 1, 2023.
According to the internet, “EROS is responsible for daily flight operations of satellites Landsat 8 and Landsat 9. EROS staff works to map, monitor, and analyze land change across our nation and around the world.”
The Old Courthouse Museum offers a wealth of Sioux Falls and South Dakota history through exhibits. Learners, along with their chaperones, completed a scavenger hunt to find amazing things. Some of the favorites were a typewriter from the 1940’s, looking at various historical Native Nation artifacts, touching parts of a bison, looking at military information and artifacts and enjoying so many additional items of interest throughout the three floors.
Because of the very cold weather, plans for eating outdoors were altered. Horizon appreciates bus drivers Danny and Jeanette for taking a day to transport us to and from each location while doing so with a smile and lots of kindness. It was an eventful day and happy memories were definitely made.
