FUN FUN FUN At Jamestown!!!!!!

What a WONDERFUL fieldtrip we had yesterday to Jamestown, VA! Students enjoyed riding the ferry over the James River and then an awesome tour around Jamestown! Our guide was very good and we loved all of the interesting facts we learned! We also got to visit Williamsburg and walk around the historic part. Students enjoyed being with friends all day. After stopping for dinner, we were happy to be back home too! It was DEFINITELY a fun day with BEAUTIFUL weather!!!!!!!
