CS Porter Middle School Field Trips

June 6th, 2016

The CS Porter Middle School sixth grade visited MPG over the course of six days. The teachers brought more than 150 children for their spring field trip. The day consisted of three stations that small groups of students rotated through.

Watershed Education Network ran a station where students learned about macroinvertebrates and water quality. The students waded in the Bitterroot River to collect samples before studying them in greater detail. Missoula Writing Collaborative ran the third station. Here students received instruction and guidance as they wrote and shared place-based poetry.The field trips are a yearly occurrence and an opportunity for these students to take their learning process outside the classroom. Each spring they return to the banks of the Bitterroot River to explore and learn.
