We started filming our reenactment today. We will give you a few sneak peek pictures today. Carson loved playing the role of Robert Ross! However, if you want to see the whole film you need to come next Friday at the Historic Field Day! (10am-12pm) See you there!

The weather cooperated with us today and we were able to take a trip to the Reginald F. Lewis Museum today. Students learned a lot about Maryland and Baltimore African American history. Ask them about Benjamin Banneker, Harriet Tubman, Cab Calloway and Dr. Ben Carson! Today we played an exciting game called "Sounds Around the World" created by talented local musician Jason Armstrong Baker. The game is similar to the "Beat the Teacher" and "Beath Each Other" games we have played all year. The difference is the students are listening to music rather the questions from each other or myself. In teams the students tried to answer what continent, sub-region and country the music was from. I was very impressed! The students did an awesome job and they also knew where the countries were on the map! What was even more impressive was when they explained just how they were familiar with the music from around the world. Their answers varied from TV and music, to listening to music at home and even visiting some of these places in person. We will continue to the play this game the rest of the year! To learn more about Mr. Baker and his program please visit his website at www.revolutionrhythm.com . Today we FINALLY took the boat out on the water! Last year the fifth graders built the boat in October. Today both fifth and sixth graders took the boat out on the Boat Lake in Patterson Park on a trial run. Students worked together to paddle themselves around the lake. We will be using the boat in our reenactment film of "The Battle of Baltimore" next Friday. Some students were even interviewed by City Schools about their project. It was quite a day! |
