We had the best time on our Lansing Field trip yesterday touring the capital and exploring the Michigan Historical Museum. It was an amazing experience. A BIG thank you to Jayson Ryan, Reham Alexander, Martha Wilker, Pam Minelli, Diana Johnson, Kathy Juriga, Sean Lee and Mike Richardson for chaperoning on this awesome trip. It was a full day of adventure!
Today in class we wrote reflection paragraphs and put them into a Lansing Reflection powerpoint. Tonight at home, we will finish the slides and add pictures. We can use pictures that we captured yesterday or have our parents help us locate some on the internet. Finally, we will upload the Lansing Reflection to our student portfolio page and also to the Lansing Experience page for the class. Get ready for a great Friday!
