Tomorrow we are taking our field trip to Launch.

We had an enjoyable and informative field trip into Boston this morning. The fifth graders visited the Old South Meeting House and the Old State House. At the Meeting House, the students engaged in a mock debate around the events of the Tea Party. The kids did a great job playing the parts of either loyalists or patriots.

Tomorrow, we will return to our fantasy book groups.
