The 4th grade trip to Old Salem is just around the corner. Mark your calendar for 12/11/13! We will depart from school at 8:15 on the chartered bus. Be sure to note that we will return to campus between 5:15-5:30. We will send a detailed e-mail next week with all the information you need to know about this learning adventure.
We will spend our Social Studies' time during December learning all about how the town of Salem was settled and about the Moravian religion and culture. We will be learning about the original settlements in Virginia and North Carolina. Your 4th grader will be learning:
- Why did the early Carolina farmers have to sell their goods to merchants in Virginia?
- What were the early relationships like with the Native Americans?
- What are imports, exports, cash crops, and surplus goods?
- Why did colonists move to Carolina?
- Who were the Moravians?
Highlights of this study will include making Moravian sugar cake and having our very own Love Feast. Details to come!
