Week 9 - Thanksgiving

This will be a super quick picture update of our week 9-Thanksgiving. This does absolutely no justice to what we learned and everything we took the time to do but it's better than nothing. This will teach me to fall behind in my blogging. Sorry folks!

Week 9, Field Trip to Fort Worth Science Museum

I will most likely just post pictures because I'm so far behind on updating my blog. We were so excited to get to take this field trip. We were studying George Washington and the museum had a huge exhibit just for him. Oh, by the way, if you live near Fort Worth, this exhibit will go on into January 2012. Though we went to see the George Washington exhibit, we greatly enjoyed all the other many exhibits and activities they had. It was so worth the money!
