Miss Flubacher and Miss Prinz's 5th grade classes enjoyed a fun virtual field trip on May 4 to prep for their real field trip on May 5, Cinco de Mayo, to Casa Vallarta, a Mexican restaurant in Kingston, to celebrate the end of state testing and Cinco de Mayo!
Students were given tickets for their "flight" and then taken on a virtual trip through all of the major attractions in Mexico. Students then were given the opportunity to try chips with salsa and guacamole to have a taste of Mexico with their trip. The classes finished the morning with some musical chairs to authentic salsa music!
