4th & 5th Grade Field Trip to Da Vinci Exhibit

SLAS 4th and 5th graders went on a field trip this week to visit Da Vinci The Genius Exhibit.  This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for the students to learn about this amazing artist and inventor.   The students were guided through the exhibit by a guide and they were able to interact with the different models Da Vinci has invented.  We were able to see Da Vinci’s Codices which included his writings and drawings of human anatomy.
