Colonial Day

On June 9th, the whole fourth grade went back in time to the colonial period.  Students and adults dressed in period clothing.  Everyone looked great!  We also presented a concert and play related to colonial times, then spent the remainder of the day doing activities popular during this time.  The students made baskets, cross-stitched samplers, tinpunched, planted herbs, played games of colonial times, looked at artifacts from the 1700s, practiced writing with quill and ink, stenciled, and made hornbooks.  It was a full day and everyone had a great time!  Thanks to all of the many parent volunteers who helped to make it a memorable event for all!  Enjoy our pictures!

 

 

 

Raleigh Field Trip

On June 7th, the fourth grade classes went to Raleigh.  We toured the History Museum, the Capitol, the Museum of Natural Sciences, and the Legislative building.  It was a great time!  Check out our awesome pictures!

 One of the museum volunteers tells the students about some sports memorabilia.  Where is the NC State Wolfpack red?

 This was the beginning of the Capitol tour.  Little did we know how great a tour Mr. Page was going to give!

 What a privilege!  We got to enter the original legislative chambers!

 Students are listening very intently to Mr. Page's facts.  What a great tour!
