Please register your child for the field trip, Grade 1 to Raupp Museum. First-graders will be going by bus to the Raupp Museum, Buffalo Grove, in January. Students will learn about Needs and Wants through a program called, Tiny Trader. They will shop like the farmers did 125 years ago! First, students earn money from the dairy cow, gather eggs, and make a shopping list. Next, they shop in the General Store, using their money and eggs to buy and barter for the things on their shopping list. This program teaches the difference between needs and wants, and the link between work and money.
The schedule for the field trip is:
- Wednesday, January 11: Popjoy (Lindell)
- Friday, January 13: Schreurs
