Alpaca Field Trip
During
October, 2003, the Homestead graders visited alpaca and sheep farms to
see firsthand how domestic animals are raised to produce fibers for clothing
and other uses. These topics directly relate to the students' yearlong
study project entitled, "Challenge at Lowell: Great People in 19th
Century America." The children are studying the advances and problems
created by the Industrial Revolution, specifically in textile production.
A three day trip to Lowell, Massachusetts, in May will cap off the study.
