Field Trip.

The 3rd grade Wings class took a walking tour of Benton today. It was a mystery tour to find the lost history of our town. I managed to make parts of it around my job at the art studio. Why is it things are always, always scheduled during the few hours a week I work? Some of the pictures are mine and some are Sarah's. I left the camera with Sarah while I ran back to work. I would have loved to finish the tour. Sarah did things I have never done. They began the morning at Benton State bank. We received a grand tour and lots of history. Next was the Shoppach house. I have never been there and did not realize the history of it. Then the class moved on to the Courthouse. Sarah got to climb to the top of the bell tower. I like Sarah's shot of the Courthouse. Next on the agenda the Gann Museum. This large piece of Niloak pottery is worth a very pretty penny. Finally, lunch and the Royal Theatre. The Royal Theatre was a real step back in time. I can not remember the last time I was there. I know I went to the movies through jumior high at least if not senior high. So thats many, many years. I enjoyed this field trip and learned a lot.
