Maritime Field Trip!

Another Fabulous Day!
This trip was completely in sync with what students have 
been learning about the Battle of Valcour Island from their 
current read-aloud, Spitfireby Kate Messner.
(FYI: There may now be a few students who want to paddle over 
to Valcour Island - easily reached from the Peru, NY boat
launch - a few miles south of Plattsburgh.)
