As we head out on our field trip to Plimoth Friday, there are a few things I’d love to share with all of you. Plimoth Plantation is a living, breathing museum. It is an extraordinary place where students used all of their senses to learn about life in 1627. A video from our trip a few years ago is featured on the Plimoth Plantation website, where they use it to encourage donations for field trip funding. Check it out!!

We have been reading and reading and reading to learn more about history. This week, we will visit one of my favorite online resources – the Online Learning Center. It is a multimedia, interactive area on the Plimoth.org website that helps clarify the details of the First Thanksgiving. Be sure to stop by with your favorite little historian, and check it out!
Students are excited to learn more about both the Plimoth and Wampanoag villages. Their questions in the classroom are enthusiastic and respectful, so I’m sure they will carry that respectful enthusiasm to the docents who work there.
In closing, I have to say I am VERY EXCITED to bring this group of 204-ers to Plimoth. I hope to see them take their mission to heart and really focus on learning while having fun!
🙂 Pay attention to the weather reports for Friday and have your child dress accordingly. Don’t forget to pack a lunch!
🙂 If you’ve decided to drive instead of ride on the bus, let me know.
🙂 Students are encouraged to bring their own headphones to school for Monday/Friday BYOD days. We use them with the school iPads.
🙂 Thank you for your support!!!
