As part of their study of Florida History, fourth and fifth grade students at Conchita Espinosa Academy visited historic St. Augustine. This field trip was an opportunity for students to experience what they’ve been reading and learning about. Among other activities, students visited the Old Florida Museum, a Spanish Village, and aPioneer Village. Playing games students of long ago played, writing with quill and ink, grinding corn, making candles, boring holes for pegs – they experienced so many things to excite a lesson in history. A visit to the lighthouse, a stroll through the Old Fort, a drink from the Fountain of Youth, and what overnight field trip would be complete without a ghost tour!
