Luckily for me, not one student wants to use the restroom in the rear of the bus (unless it's a real emergency); I have a captive audience rolling along at 55mph!<br /><br />This year, two of my schools from California will travel to New York State and Pennsylvania to learn more about the French and Indian War up front and personal. In fact, we will be staying overnight at Fort Niagara and mustered into the King's Army! (They have great educational programs!) <br /><br />These ETP's coincide with the 250th anniversary of the French and Indian War. There are lots of commemorations and activities throughout the region (including Canada) which your readers, students, and families might want to take advantage - especially in the summer.<br /><br />I have found that students hardly learn or remember anything of the French and Indian War as well as the War of 1812. Pity, since these two conflicts were so important to the development of our country.<br /><br />Thanks for your good work!<br />A.M.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
