1. 4th and 5th grade G&T went on a field trip to the Morgan Library! We were enthralled by being surrounded by all the wonderful architecture, art, and literature. A main highlight, unanimously, was said to be learning about Mr. Morgan's secret library staircase. Not only did we learn about the history of the Morgan Library, but we were able to visit the exhibit on Charles Dickens. It was fantastic! Students had time to take notes or sketch things that were interesting to them. We had a fantastic museum educator, Clara, who answered many questions and kept us thinking!
2. Once we got back from the field trip, we decided to make a museum of our own... just in time for Family Friday. Many of the students opted to stay in during their recess time to make artwork for the museum. We explored the question "What do Martin Luther King Jr. and Charles Dickens have in common?" (Hint: they're both civil rights activists!) 3. We finally had our Alvin Ailey performance! All three fourth grade classes had the opportunity to display what we had learned from our dance instructor, Ms. Heather, and the drummer, Mr. Nick. The students learned a bit about modern dance. We also read a book about Alvin Ailey in class- we also learned about his creative contributions to the Civil Rights movement.
