We have finally selected our field trip destination.  We are going to visit Pemberton Manor.  This is a historic home that dates back to the 17th century, as one of the first local settlements.  We well describe the inside and the outside of this historic park.

We have completed our prewriting for our trip to Pemberton Park in Salisbury.  I was really pleased with what the students came up with.
