Massie School Field Trip

Tomochichi and Oglethorpe Walking Tour in Downtown Savannah

Mary Musgrove (a tour guide) is standing in the exact spot where James Oglethorpe lived in a tent in 1733 when he founded Georgia.

The next three pictures make me smile:).  Mr. Buttons (our tour guide) taught/reminded my boys of a life lesson.  He asked all the boys to stand or sit on the ground so that the ladies could sit on the benches.

Tomochichi was buried in Wright Square.  His grave site was covered with a memorial for Gordon who brought the railroad system to Georgia.  The granite boulder from Stone Mountain was later added to Wright square to honor Tomochichi.

Students reenacting a meeting between James Oglethorpe and Tomochichi.  Mary Musgrove acted as a translator for the two leaders.  She knew the English and Creek language and was able to help them communicate.

October Events

Fall is my favorite time of the year.  I love cool weather, pumpkins, fall festivals, leaves changing colors, Halloween, and special events that I get to experience with my students during this time of year.

Last week we had a busy, fun week.  On Wednesday, the class got to perform at the Savannah Children's Theatre.  

On Thursday, students got to spend time with classmates playing games, getting their faces painted, and  decorating cookies during the Second Grade Fall Festival.  I would like to send out a special thanks to all of my parents for sending in items needed for this day and I would especially like to thank the parents that volunteered their time to help make this event a success.

Friday evening, students had the opportunity to get treats as they visited many different decorated trunks at the first annual Trunk or Treat.
