Expanding The Classroom Last year in April, the fourth grade visited Bellefield Nature Center and Brookgreen Gardens. At the nature center, the class saw various animals in terrariums and aquariums. At Brookgreen, they saw wildlife and the world’s largest outdoor collection of American sculp- ture. Last year the seventh grade visited Columbia and Charleston, SC. In the capital city they saw historical documents in the Archives. They also visited the State Supreme Court, Governor’s Mansion, and Columbia College. The Carolina Correctional Institute was also visited by these THA students. Here they all had the breath-taking experience of sitting in the electric chair (unplugged, of course!) In April, they visited Charleston harbor on a harbor tour. Then the Joseph Mannigault House and the Citadel were next on the tour. This trip was highlighted by the Friday afternoon parade of ca- dets. A buggy tour of the Battery completed the trip. Last year the third grade visited Columbia. This field trip included a tour of the State House and the Gover- nor’s Mansion. The zoo trip has become an annual experience for the beginners. Guided by their teacher and some par- ents, the students tour the zoo and become acquainted with the various animals. The trip usually ends with a picnic lunch on the grounds. Also last year, the eleventh grade took a field trip to Charleston. During the trip, they visited Fort Sumter and claimed the boat trip across the harbor was the high- light of the trip because they fed the seagulls. The class also visited the Yorktown, one of the major aircraft carriers of World War II. Next stop was the old slave market, where the students bought handmade crafts. Finally, at the marketplace mall, they ate food from various countries and headed for home. The fifth grade class of 1985 experienced a world of science at Discovery Place in Charlotte, N.C. The Dis- covery Place is a museum in which the visitors are urged to touch the exhibits. Scheduled demonstrations throughout the day show concepts from fields of sci- ence such as nature, physics, and chemistry. Many exciting and extensive field trips are planned for 1985-1986, however our press date does not allow us to report on them until the following year.
