Our field trip was a success! We had a lot of fun being together and learning about the Veterans of the Vietnam War and the first Lutheran settlers in Missouri.
We started out at the Missouri's National Veterans Memorial where we got to see an exact replica of The Wall of Veterans' names that gave their lives in war. The first one is in Washington, D.C. and Missouri now has the first exact replica! We learned about fallen soldiers, Prisoners of War, and the importance of the wall. Next, we went to one of the first Lutheran churches in Altenburg. We learned about the immigrants coming to Missouri and saw a lot of cool stuff in the museum including old organs! We also were able to search through our ancestry and learn about our family trees. Then, we took our charter bus to the Saxon Memorial. After a great lunch break, we experienced what life was like when the first settlers came to Missouri. We churned butter, shelled corn, and wittled some wood. The kids did a great job on the field trip. They had a fun time being together. I liked going on this trip at the end of the year because it is one of our last big chances to spend quality time together! I will miss them!! Thanks to the parents who chaperoned and helped make the day run smoothly!! And thanks to PTL for sponsoring our bus! AR is due Friday by 3pm!!! Double check to see if your child has all of their points. INFO ABOUT THE LAST WEEK
