Weekly Update

We had a wonderful field trip yesterday! The kids were so well behaved, polite, and showed a great deal of interest at both the lighthouse and the Maritime Museum. They really enjoyed climbing the tower and looking out over Lake Michigan. At the museum the highlight was touring the submarine, the U.S.S. Cobia.

Back in the classroom, they will now be able to relate the WWII information that they learned at the museum to what they are learning in History. And as the continue to work on their research papers, they will have a better understanding of the workings of a lighthouse. Additionally, the pictures they took at the lighthouse will be manipulated and used to illustrate their children's story that they will be writing. More on that later! In the meantime, enjoy this brief slide show of the field trip:
