Back in Time

Photographs may be enlarged.

Third graders are taking their field trips back in time this week as they visit historic Friendswood at the Brown Museum and the Perry House. As a culmination to their Friendswood unit, our character cam caught Ms. Defibaugh and Mrs. Ellisor traveling with their students on Wednesday to find out first hand what it was like to be a pioneer and settle in Friendswood. They pumped well water, checked on their vegetable garden, visited a blacksmith, and toured a historic kitchen. They even played some games and experienced some pasttimes of old; see how Mrs. Ellisor is trying to make that blade of grass whistle! After their journey to the past, they headed back into the future, where they enjoyed lunch together before playing at Stevenson Park on the new wheel-chair accessible playground which their donated quarters helped to purchase.
