We are going on our  field trip to the Henry Ford Museum on Friday, March 13th. We will be there from 9:30-2:30 so please make sure your child is wearing comfortable walking shoes and packs a lunch in a disposable bag.  We are learning about the past, present, and future in social studies, so this will be a great way to see examples of what life was like in the past!
