Our Field Trip

We all enjoyed our trip to the Molly Brown House Museum yesterday.  The children learned that Molly was actually called Margaret.  "The Unsinkable Molly Brown" was a name given to her by Hollywood after her death.  The children listened attentively to our guide and were very interested to see how the Brown family lived.  Everyone was curious to learn more about how she survived the sinking of the Titanic.  We saw a photo of Margaret's insurance claim after the disaster, and were all shocked to see it totaled nearly $28,000!  We learned about how Margaret worked hard to make a positive contribution to society, helping Colorado become only the 3rd state to allow women to vote, and helping to create the juvenile court system.

United in Orange!

Happy New Year!  We have had a wonderful start to the new year.  Everyone came back eager and ready to learn.  This week, the students have written opinion paragraphs, learned how to measure using meters and centimeters, studied the use of idioms, and posted something they have learned about Denver on their blogs.  If you haven't already seen your child's blog, you can get there from the tab at the top of this page.  Go Broncos!
