Memories & Thoughts from Today :)
Navigator’s Notes
This morning we (virtually) landed in Boston, Massachusetts. We hopped in the vans and headed directly to Concord Museum in, fittingly, Concord, Massachusetts. We were met there by today's guest Ms. Susan. This is our 4th time visiting with Ms. Susan. We were really happy to see her again! Concord Museum has the world's largest collection of artifacts from the life of Concord writer and philosopher Henry David Thoreau. We got to see Henry's desk and walking stick. We also learned about how he was an abolitionist (that means that he wanted to end slavery). Then we learned about the Garrison family. The Garrison family was an African-American family who lived in Concord at around the same time as Henry. We learned about the members of the family and about the wealth inequalities that existed in Concord at this time. All things were not fair and equal. After Ms. Susan left we had our p4c questions. We voted to talk about a funny wondering that occurred to one of our crew: "Why are Apple chargers not called Apple Juice?" After taking a break for lunch we met back on Zoom in the afternoon. First we had our Harry Potter p4c Book Club. We talked about Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone and whether or not the Harry Potter movies were better than the books. Finally, it was time for our first LEGO class. We were happy to see Aunty Kierstin again. We watched a LEGO video, tried to make something out of 10 small pieces, and did LEGO trivia. All in all, it was a great start to Week #2 of our journey.
An in-person trip to Concord Museum!
