Second-Grade Field Trip
As part of their Social Studies learning, second graders visited
Parky's Farm
to learn more about 'Then and Now'. They learned what life was like for children back in the early 1800s: a time when teachers were much more strict, the chores were harder, and nobody had an iPad!
