Colonial Day
This year Gavin's class has been studying the colonial period. A few weeks ago the whole fourth and fifth grade took a field trip to Plimoth Plantation near Plymouth, Massachusetts where they saw how both the early colonists and the native peoples lived. They also visited the Mayflower II.

How fun- Gavin looks like a natural instructor! I remember going to Plymouth Plantation and not expecting much- I was blown away. Wish we could go back...
