Field Trip to Kentucky Museum

All fifth grade classes are taking a field trip to the Kentucky Museum in Bowling Green, KY on April 7th. Student admission is being paid for by a Service Learning Grant. We will be stopping for lunch at Burger King in Bowling Green. Students need to bring lunch money. The Kentucky Library & Museum has a gift shop if you want to send money with your child. We will be loading the bus when the tardy bell rings so please make sure your child is on time. The students will need to bring a jacket because part of the trip is outside. There will be lots of walking so they will need to wear comfortable shoes. We will not be taking parent volunteers because of seating on the bus. If you have any questions you may call Mrs. White, Mrs. Flora or Mr. Simpson at 542-4139.

Pioneer Girl Story Maps

Pioneer is a story we read about a combination of Westward Expanison and The Civil War. Here are some examples of characters, setting, theme, and plot from the story.
