Our Fieldtrip to the Smithsonian Natural History Museum!
Check out this video Ms. Bragg and her assistant, Baby Cora, made last weekend! Together we show you some of the things we'll see and do on our fieldtrip.
In this video the head of the forensics department talks about the Written in Bone exhibit in general. It also happens to have been made by Mr. Bragg! Ms. Bragg is very proud! Note: There is a short commercial before the video begins.

General Classroom Schedule
This is the general plan for each day. Encore, lunch, and recess times follow the set schedule. But in-classroom subject times (Language Arts, Math, Content, Inquiry, etc.) are fairly loose and often change on a daily basis to accommodate learning activities.
The Godspeed Has Sailed Into Port Close By!
Click on the photo below to view more pictures and to find out more about how you can visit the Godspeed while its anchored on the banks of the Potomac. Ms. Bragg plans to visit this Sunday-- maybe I'll see you there!
