Aquarium, Anthem, End of School

Dave was able to go with Carter for his end of the year field trip to the New Jersey State Aquarium in Camden, NJ. They had a lot of fun taking pictures! Carter's favorite thing there was the sawshark (the fourth picture).







The 5th grade band got to play the National Anthem at a Blue Rocks game (a minor league baseball team in Wilmington, DE). Carter is in the center of the picture, behind the big bass drum. He is playing the snare drum. The kids had to have the song memorized, and he did really good!


This is after they are done playing and they are leaving the field.



David had to do a report on someone who contributed to history, and he loves cars, so he chose Henry Ford. He even put one of his Ford matchbox cars on his poster!


Carter had to do a report on 4 African-Americans who contributed to history. George Washington Carver discovered more than 300 ways to use peanuts, George Crum invented potato chips (the way they are now), Dr. Charles invented blood banks, and Frederick McKinley Jones invented the automatic refrigeration system for railroad cars and semi-trucks.
