Third Graders Enhance Their Cultural Knowledge

Third Grade students from R. L. Young Elementary School recently took a field trip to the Birmingham Museum of Art. They viewed the Pompeii exhibit which is on loan to the United States from Italy. The exhibit is only going to be visiting three cities while in the U. S. What a great opportunity these students had to view such a unique event in our history.

The teachers bragged proudly of how well behaved the children were while viewing such a serious and important exhibit.

To enhance the trip, the students made volcanic eruptions depicting the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius. Miniature Frescos were also made.

This was a trip all students, parents, and teachers enjoyed.
