Fifth Grade Goes to Boston
April 30 - May 2, 2008
| WEDNESDAY 10:10 | The plane has landed! Mrs. Fields reports that the trip could not have gone more smoothly. The children behaved beautifully. The bus is about to leave for a tour of "Bean-town!" Pictures will be uploaded as soon as possible. Check back often for updates! |
| THURSDAY 2:20 | The children are having a
GREAT time. They started the day off with a good breakfast, then drove to
Plimouth Plantation where they toured the Mayflower II. You'll be glad to
know that they got some shopping in this morning! They enjoyed meeting
people in character from the early days, learned much and asked some very
good questions. The compliments have been flowing about how well-behaved
and intelligent they are. Leewood students always make us proud.
They are currently on their way to Cambridge, where they will tour the campus of Harvard. Tonight they're looking forward to the Ghost tour which is sure to keep them entertained. We'll keep you posted! By the way, they had to leave the Hard Rock earlier than planned last night because they were getting ready for a concert with Jewel! |
| FRIDAY 10:25 | The children had a good
breakfast, have checked out of the hotel and are "bright-eyed and
bushy-tailed, and ready for adventure" this morning, according to
Mrs. Fields. They're making their way to Salem for the Witch Museum and
the House of Seven Gables, after which they'll enjoy a
"scrumptious" lunch then on to the Museum of Science.
They really enjoyed their tour of Harvard yesterday. Start saving your money 'cause it appears that some of your children are eager to attend Harvard when the time for college comes! The kids were a little disappointed by the Ghost Tour.... not spooky enough, apparently, but the chaperones were relieved! We hope you have enjoyed hearing from your children. They're looking forward to seeing you very early tomorrow morning. Be sure to listen for the phone tree call about their arrival. PLEASE leave space in front of the school for the buses so that they can deliver your children safely to the curb. Check back here often today, since Mrs. Field's will try to call in a few more times..... |
