The fourth graders went to Travellers Rest Plantation and Museum as their end of the year fieldtrip. I was asked to go as a chapperone and accepted. Julianna was as school so that made it easier for me.
I was given a group of 8 students from Rebecca's class to stay with. The Plantation is set up where there are stations outside all around the actual house of John Overton and you can see pottery being made, a bee keeper, civil war soldiers, etc. It's really a neat place and I enjoyed the trip.
I took some pictures of her group. They were such a fun group of kids. The girls loved all the stations - the boys tended to be a bit more bored throughout the day but usually found things to keep them entertained.... and me to keep my eyes on them.
Thought you might enjoy seeing these pictures, too!

Washing laundry by hand and hanging it out to dry
This was one of the more "creative" boys in the groups!! :-)
Getting instructions on how to weave a chair
Taking a break at the gift shop - what funny kids
Making soap
Getting in structions from an Civil War Soldier
Making baby dolls (this was definitely the girls favorite station and the boys least favorite)
Rebecca trying to hoola hoop with a wooden circle - that's the game where you roll the circle along and push it with a stick (you've seen it in the movies). She was much more successful with using it as a hoola hoop
