Columbia Gorge Sternwheeler Field Trip
The Field Trip Grant provided us with the opportunity to extend our learning from the classroom to the Columbia River. Taking a ride on the Columbia Gorge Sternwheeler was an ideal educational adventure for our 8th grade learners and staff. This experience allowed our students the opportunity to connect their learning targets directly to the native history of our region.
