We had a wonderful field trip at Festival du Voyageur on Feburary 19th! Mr. Blake and Mrs. Vincent's classes joined us. Some highlights were: the Instruments of Old (a show about instruments the voyageur's used), a play at the end of the day called A Day in the Life of a Voyageur (about a girl, named Emily, who beat challenges to become a voyageur even though girls weren't allowed to be voyageurs), and time to explore, shop, and try fun activities. Check out our photos!
