Hello Parents,
I hope everyone has started to settle into the new school year. As you have hopefully seen from your son/daughter, we have begun our year of U.S. History starting with Milton. We started a mini-unit focusing on the "living history" in Milton. Students are working on projects to capture some of this information that is not written in history books. Some students have interviewed some of the older members of our community, some have taken pictures focusing on a specific theme such as century old homes, cemetaries, barns, farms and landforms, and others are creating timelines and modern town seals representing change. Last week we had four community members sharing stories of the past to students in the classroom This week we walked to the Milton Hisorical Society Museum and participated in a scavenger hunt through Milton's history. This Friday we are concluding our unit with project presentations. Students will be able to show off their hard work and hopefully teach their peers at the same time. I hope to be able to showcase some of this work to all of you as well in the near future.
I look forward to seeing everyone at Thursday "open house"!
Sincerely,
Mr. Burton
