4th Grade Goes to War




The 4th grade went to Fort Stanwix in Rome, NY on April 27, 2007. It was a Friday. They prepared for it by making bread, haversacks, snicker doodles and beef jerky.
To get there they took a nice bus. It took about 2 hours. The 4th grade went to Fort Stanwix to learn about the Revolutionary War. It was fun because they got to go into the fort and do hands on activities. The Revolutionary war was when British were fighting with the American Some native Americans helped the Americans. Fort Stanwix was very big. we ate two lunches. One was on the bus. We took another to eat in the fort. We ate bread, snicker doodles, water, tea, beef jerky and carrots.





One activity was learning to march. The 2nd activity was loading and firing guns. Another activity was hunting. Finally the last one was on piling wood. After that we got on the bus and went to the Erie Canal. Last but not least we got on the bus and went home.
The trip was very cool for the 4th grade. The fort was really big and the 4th grade will never forget it.
