The Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh was the destination for an educational field trip for Penn-Trafford’s kindergarten students. During the year-end trip, the students explored many of the museum’s exhibits including the art studio, makeshop, limb bender, kindness gallery, garage, and a temporary Rube Goldberg exhibit.
Each exhibit promoted hands-on learning where the students used their imagination and creativity to problem-solve while having great fun with their friends.
