5th Grade News
There are three exciting field trips for fifth graders to look forward to in the coming months. In March, students will visit the Springfield Science Museum and take part in a combination of organized programming and a Scavenger Hunt designed to highlight our fifth grade science curriculum. In May, we will travel to Plimoth Plantation in Plymouth, MA. Students will take a tour of the Plantation which includes the 1627 English Village and the Wampanoag Homesite. We will also visit the Jenny Grist Mill, and take a walk through the town of Plymouth, stopping at various historic sites including Plymouth Rock and the Mayflower. In June, we will go to Boston to walk the Freedom Trail and learn about the Revolution of America. Usual stops include the State House, the Old North Church, Bunker Hill, The U.S.S. Constitution and many others.
Be on the lookout in the upcoming weeks for permission slips, details on the drop-off and pick-up times, and information describing the cost and payment plans available. Closer to the date of the trips, we will also be looking for parent chaperones. All three of these trips give the students a hands-on, interactive experience with the curriculum in a way that is invaluable and unforgettable!
