Update on Field Trip opportunity: I continue to try to schedule a field trip for our third grade class to the MOAH museum in Palo Alto, but not date at this time. It is a very intimate museum with fabulous volunteers. I am interested in organizing a class on Electrostatics or Magnetism and Electromagnetism. Please e-mail me if you are interested. I believe you would be able to bring older siblings.
