Hello Everyone!
I hope everyone is doing well! I know that the students have been working very hard toward reaching their reading goal! Keep up the good work! A few students have asked me about the field trip and more information. I have put this information below in the REMINDERS section with important dates and things highlighted. Please note the date the permission form needs to be turned in so that we can get an accurate count of who is going. Make sure you check out the Golden Bookworm section to see who reached their weekly reading goal! These awards are handed out weekly to students who reached their personal reading goal. These are goals that the student and I have talked about and agreed on and I must say that everyone is doing a fantastic job!

History The Charleston Museum was founded in 1773 while South Carolina was yet a British colony. Now a modern 501 (c) (3) nonprofit organization, the Museum is accredited by the American Association of Museums. Inspired in part by the creation of the British Museum (1759), the Museum was established in 1773 by the Charleston Library Society and is commonly regarded as "America's First Museum". Its early history was characterized by association with distinguished South Carolinians and scientific figures including Charles Cotesworth Pinckney, Thomas Heyward, Jr., Reverend John Bachman and John J. Audubon. Many of the original collections were destroyed by fire in 1778 and operations were suspended during the American Revolution; however, collecting resumed in the 1790s. First opened to the public in 1824, the Museum developed prominent collections declared in 1852 by Harvard scientist Louis Aggasiz to be among the finest in America. Operations were temporarily suspended due to the Civil War, but began again shortly after the conflict. Progressively acquired from the late 18th century to the present, the Museum's collections now present the oldestacquired and the most comprehensive assemblage of South Carolina materials in the nation. Modern collecting emphases include natural science, ornithology, historical material culture and both documentary and photographic resources. http://www.charlestonmuseum.org/about

Fieldtrip permission forms are posted on our class website missemjackson.weebly.com. I will also send home a printed copy if you have not already submitted one online. These forms are due no later than September 20, 2014. Chaperones please make sure that you have contacted me about group information and procedures. We will have a meeting on September 26, 2014 where we will go over the group names, activities and procedures for the trip. A list of this information will be made available to you to bring with you on the trip. I have posted a link on our class website for you to explore the Charleston Museums website before we get there. I have posted a summary of the history of the museum in the right column. I know we are going to have a great time! Buckle up for another adventure!
