Area home school students got to take a field trip today as one big class.

Nearly 106 home-schoolers of all ages, some even as young as four years old, took part in the first Field Day at the Chippewa Valley Museum.

The students and their families took guided tours of the museum, along with seeing a theater production on farming.

It was a chance for students to interact in a class setting with others.

This is the first time the museum hosted a field day this large.
