On May 11, the 7th
grade students had a field trip to The Museum of Industry, following up to that
they had also gone to Fells Point. The 7th graders had visited there
to learn about many interesting historian facts.
The Museum of
Industry has many fun and educational things to do. Some of the things they
taught the students were how the workers were treated, how they would get
hired, how they had to work, and what type of jobs they would have to do.
At Fells Point, MD the 7th graders
were in their advisory groups and walked around observing the old buildings.
They were taught many facts like about the brick patterns, the type of
building, and how people lived in that certain type of building. After a long
day they were also treated with yummy treats like ice-cream and a snowball.
Jaelyn a 7th grade student said, “I liked that we
had ice-cream after a long tiring day, after learning several things” After
all, they did work very hard.
When the students
had visited the museum, they’d split into two groups. One of the two things
they’d learned about was the garmenting industry. They learned who worked at
the factories, how the people would work, the types of different jobs everyone
had.
Later on all of
the 7th graders split up and did a scavenger hunt. During that you
had to find several facts about many historian things. There were several
topics that the students had to read and find out about.
Jada, another 7th
grade student said, “My favorite part was when I got to experience being a
cutter for the garment industry. I’d learned a lot of things during then, it
was a fun activity!”
This field trip was
a great experience for all the students. It was a relaxing, fun, and
interesting place where you could learn many things about a lot of historical
items or people. All the 7th graders had really enjoyed their trip
to the Museum of Industry and Fells Point, MD.Written by: Anjali S.
