FANTASTIC FIELD TRIP

FANTASTIC FIELD TRIP

4K was able to go to The Tsongas Industrial History Center to learn about the history of immigration to the United States, and in particular, to Lowell. The program in very engaging with scavenger hunts to find artifacts, a tour of the working mill to witness fabric being made, role playing a town meeting in 1890s to debate opening a school for Irish immigrant children and a chance to be historians studying authentic artifacts of items immigrants brought with them from their homeland.

SUPER SHOPPERS!

4K teamed up with Mrs. Murphy's class to put all they learned about decimals to use. Teams worked together to create a menu for Mrs. Murphy to have the Kelleher's over for dinner. They had to buy everything on the list AND come in at the lowest cost. Teams scoured flyers for the best prices. They were comparing prices and figuring out costs. Great real life math lesson. Which team managed to spend the least?
They worked together for 3 periods and the winners will be revealed shortly.
