Herbert Hoover Field Trip

On Tuesday, December 10th, the first grade classes at Wellman Elementary traveled to West Branch to enjoy the Herbert Hoover museum's annual holiday display highlighting Christmas trees from the Heartland. Students enjoyed the wide variety of Iowa themed Christmas trees, but some of the favorites included a tree featuring the state universities, a Star Trek tree, and a tree featuring the Iowa State Fair. Our learners also enjoyed some winter stories featuring Laura Ingalls Wilder, a young pioneer girl.  Ask your first grader what tree he/she enjoyed the most!
