Wow!! We have had an exciting week. Students saw a Power Point about the Root House Monday. We went on the field trip Thursday and had a great time. Students saw what life was like in the mid 1800's in Cobb County. We also visited the Marietta Museum where the class was able to see how clothing and appliances have changed through the years. They also have Civil War room where students were able to see artifacts fromthe war. It was an exciting day. Thanks so much to Mrs. Carter and Mrs. Johnson for being our wonderful chaperones.
