Annapolis Fieldtrip

Sometimes when I'm dealing with bus companies that are late and students who have been allowed to register for field trips at the last minute every other time someone has taken them, I get frustrated and say I don't want to plan any more of these "extras." Then, students ask to sit by me on the bus on the way home and are excited to tell me about what they found out about how slaves secretly learned to read in the William Paca House Kitchen, how they connected the Alex Haley Memorial to what we read in class, and how they want to go on more trips like this. We went to Annapolis for an African American history tour today.

This was Miss Julie at her finest.

Here, they connected Thurgood Marshall (whose statue we are with) to the Brown vs. Board of Education case we learned about last time we were in the Media Center.

And as we were walking, they saw Governor Martin O'Malley who thanked me for my work and told them he's proud of Northeast.
