We had a great field trip to the Ellington Agricultural Museum! We learned about what Christmas was like for kids in the early years of our state. We learned how they made cloth from cotton and wool and used everyday items to decorate the tree. We got to see some toys children might have gotten for Christmas and heard an old familiar Christmas story.

The Food Drive and the Book Fair both end tomorrow! Be sure to bring in your canned food items and go to the library for a new book.
