Field Trip

What a great day for a field trip - the day after testing!  As we continue to explore our planner -

 Who We Are, The Navigators went to visit the African-American Library. 

 This library is housed in the first elementary school for African-Americans. 

 The students roamed the hallways looking at artifacts and learning about the

 history and culture of Houston's first African-Americans. 

The most exciting part was our meeting with the person who restores old photos.  

She explained the process and showed different examples of photos taken 100 years ago!
