There have been a steady stream of updates from the 6th and 7th grades at Nature's Classroom this week, as teachers have been in cell phone range and able to relay pictures back to us. The 8th graders, however, have been doing some serious backwoods camping so far into Maine that, the rumor has it, cell phone signals are unable to reach such high latitudes!
Today, however, Ms. Randlett, who had been at Chewonki with the 8th grade, returned to PCD and brought with her several photos. Although she was exhausted and @PCD was unable to catch up with her for a more formal account of how life was up in the great north, we figured we would upload the pictures and let them tell the story...
Mr. Andruchow and Mr. McLaughlin took the 7th Grade Civics class to Lexington & Concord, Massachusetts on Friday, October 26. The class first visited Lexington (pictured), taking in the historic sites of Battle Green, the statue of Captain John Parker, and Buckman Tavern. They then went up the road to North Bridge, seeing Paul Revere's capture point and Meriam Corner along the way. Once they were at the bridge, the 7th graders hiked up to the Militia's vantage point atop Punkatasset Hill and reflected on what it would have been like to be at that very spot on that fateful day of April 19, 1775.
