Tamar Does The Freedom Trail!

Dear Friends of Gefen and Tamar,

Yesterday Tamar went on a field trip to the Freedom Trail. Here is a copy of our itinerary:

The Freedom Trail

Field Trip Itinerary for May 1, 2014

10:00 Tour Paul Revere’s House

11 Tour Old North Church

11:30 Have snack @ Faneuil Marketplace

12:00 Tour Old South Meeting House

12:45 - 1:30 Eat lunch @ Faneuil Hall Marketplace

1:45 View outside of Boston Tea Party replica ships

2:00 Return to school

We had a blast! Most of the students say their favorite "stop" is Paul Revere's House. But all that we did was fun and informative. Students learned a lot. Here are some pictures.

Fourth Graders smile in the Old North Church. Here, they are on Paul Revere's son's pew. His descendants still own it today.

Next week students will each be assigned a stop on the Freedom Trail to research and, eventually, present on. On Colonial Day II, you will all have a chance to "walk" to MWJDS Freedom Trail. Date is TBD.

Best,
Hamorah Eliza
