Learning Beyond the Classroom
In order to provide an experience-rich learning environment, students will be given the opportunity to attend a monthly field trip. Permission slips must be signed in order to attend. For the 2023-2024 school year we have tentatively scheduled the following field trips:
Novels
Johnny Tremain
by Esther Forbes
My Brother Sam is Dead
by Christopher Collier and James Lincoln Collier
Stealing Freedom
by Elisa Carbone
War Horse
by Michael Morpurgo
Boy in the Striped Pajamas
by John Boyne
Hannah's Suitcase
by Karen Levine
The Last Brother
by Trinka Hakes Noble
Empowering Historical Perspectives
We believe that when students connect with characters through novels, they can empathize with the people affected by major historical events. We will read books that follow what we are learning in history.
