A little goes a long way

Upon arriving in Oak Island, NC, we realized we do not have internet access...which, in turn, makes updating this blog VERY difficult. Mrs. Masanotti has agreed to update it as I text her the information, so bear with us as we try to give you a glimpse into the wonderful time your students are having.

We had an amazing time touring the USS North Carolina Battleship. Students had a scavenger hunt aboard the ship. This provided an opportunity for students to discuss warfare on the sea and the role North Carolina played in honoring the lives lost during the attack on Pearl Harbor.

Shocking fact: The preservation of the USS NC Battleship was initiated by a penny drive coordinated by elementary school students! (A little does go a LONG way!)

We visited the Cape Fear Museum for another scavenger hunt. Students toured galleries of artifacts dealing with Native American influences, the rise of integrated schools in the South and pirates of the Carolinas.

We also toured a gallery dedicated to the legendary Michael Jordan.
