Springfield Trip

We went to Springfield as part of class trip for 7th Grade students.  I tried to get them up to speed on the history of Lincoln and the Civil War before we arrived as it is not something we have covered directly in class.  The students had tons of questions, which is what learning about history is all about!  We visited the state capital building, Lincoln's home, the presidential library, and Lincoln's tomb.  We enjoyed lunch in the Union Park and overall had a fun time.  It was a long day to say the least, but the kids had energy and were active with no complaints!
