Plimoth Plantation field trip was great!

Hi families,

Just a quick note to let you all know that the Plimoth Plantation field trip was wonderful. After sheeting rain in the morning, we arrived just as the skies were clearing. The rain scared away a lot of would-be visitors and we were able to engage with the actors and learn without the difficulty of large crowds. Students asked questions about their research topics and gathered information, which they can use when they teach their lessons. We enjoyed the trip and made it home just in time for dismissal. Thanks for dressing your child for the elements. All were ready and a day in the rain would have been just fine had that of occurred.

Have a great weekend.

We have short week next week - only Monday and Tuesday.

Thanksgiving break runs from 11/25-28th.

See you all Monday!
