On Wednesday, July 1, the 6th and 7th graders got a chance to visit local art museums . The 6th graders went to the Wolfsonian Museum, while the 7th graders went to the MOCA Museum.

“The 7th grade field trip was good, it was interactive, and I had a great time,” 6th grade Geography teacher Nelda Dafinis said.

The MOCA Museum in North Miami focuses primarily on modern and contemporary styles of art, which means the exhibits the 7th graders saw were a lot different then what most people would consider art.

“The field trip was interesting I really liked the model of a house that they showed us,” 7th grader Shelby Francois said.

The Wolfsonian Museum in Miami Beach focuses on kinds of period art, which means the 6th graders got a little taste of everything.

“It was fun we got to make posters. We looked at the water system and we looked at posters that were made during World War I and II,” 6th grader Gabriela Ramesar said.
The museums trips were not just educational and enjoyable for most of the students -- ­ most teachers learned a lot too.

“The 6th grade field trip was awesome all the 6th graders were spirited on the bus, and they loved the art,” English teacher Widdi Seraphin said.
