Brattonsville Field Trip

Within the next few weeks we will begin learning about the Revolutionary War, to prepare students for this lengthy and challenging unit we went to the Historic Brattonsville to learn all about the LOYALIST and PATRIOTS. Here are a few facts you may not know. 
Does anyone remember what the word "neutral" means?? There were 1 out of 5 "neutrals" in the American Revolution! 





Learning to march with muskets...and to add to this, the person in charge of this session told me that our class was the BEST class he had so far to march with the muskets! Way to go kiddos! 

Love these kids! 


Inside a plantation house. 















Classroom back in the 1700's. 



We ran into some sweet girls from Mrs. Burns' class while on the scavenger hunt. 








Students, list 2 things you liked the MOST about this field trip and you will receive +5 on your slavery test this week.

    Abigail says that neutral means to "not take sides." They were not on the side of the Loyalists or the Patriots.

    Adeline's two favorite things were the scavenger hunt and getting to explore the plantation and slavery houses.

    Abigail said that her two favorite parts of the trip to Brattonsville were the nature trail walk and the self-guided tour of the plantation.

    Brannon said his two favorite parts were the scavenger hunt and the plantation house. The scavenger hunt was the best though.
