Dear Team 22 Families,
We had a wonderful week in school and to wrap it all up, we ended the week with our annual third grade field trip to the Framingham Historical Center. Participating in hands-on activities, studying artifacts from the museum, and learning from all of the guides at the center really tied-in nicely with our third grade social studies curriculum. The students loved hearing about important figures from the Salem Witch Trials and the Revolutionary War whom we had previously studied. The students were very interested to hear that so many of these famous figures were from Framingham, their own hometown! Who knew there was so much history in our own backyard?!
At the museum, the students did a little time traveling. They went back in time to colonial days. Each student had a chance to help collect water from the "well", use washboards, irons, and sock stretchers, and hang garments up on the clothes line.
The kids even got a feel for what it was like to be a student in the colonial days!
Thank you to all of the parent volunteers who helped chaperone our field trip!
After we returned to school, we ended the day with a class picnic lunch! :)
Best,
Miss Weinstein
