Fulton Science AcademyElementary Grades at Stone Mountain

The fourth and fifth grade classes had fun traveling back in time to the Colonial Era during our field trip this week! The students visited Stone Mountain's colonial exhibits, where they learned all about local history.

Students visited several colonial-era buildings and heard a presentation at each station. Students learned about Georgia's state history, about what animals were farmed here and how they were used, how to turn cotton or wool into thread/yarn and then blankets and clothing, and what tools were used in a Colonial kitchen. The students also learned all about trade routes, exploration, and which crops are native to the Americas and other continents.

Finally, students visited the gift shop and enjoyed lunch outside in a lovely wooded pavilion. After lunch, they ran and played, enjoying the sunshine before heading back to school.

Thank you so much to all of our wonderful parent chaperones for your help with the trip; as always, it was lovely to have you!
