Our 3rd graders recently took their much-anticipated annual field trip to Williams Barn, where history came to life! In alignment with the 3rd-grade social studies curriculum, students experienced hands-on learning about colonial life, including churning butter, crafting tools, and exploring what daily routines looked like in early America. These activities helped students connect classroom lessons to the real world while fostering curiosity, collaboration, and a deeper appreciation for the past.
