Field Trip to St. Mary's City!
Fourth graders went on a trip to the first colonial establishment in Maryland- St. Mary's. We learned how the the English colonists survived during their first years in Maryland. We saw a tobacco plantation, a re-created version of the Dove ( the ship that carried the English to Maryland), a re-made colonial village, a general store, the first Catholic church in Maryland, an archaeological dig, and a Woodland Indian village! We had beautiful weather and the kids had a great time!
