American Revolution Field Trip for Fifth Grade

My project needs a class trip for all 105 fifth grade students at Dearborn Elementary to participate in a variety of activities based on the American Revolution. Through this amazing field trip students will see first hand the impact of the Stamp Act, the trade & navigation acts of the time, what life was like for soldiers in the Continental Army, as well as what it was like for families living in war-torn parts of the east coast. Students participate in role play activities, research activities, hands on recreated events, mock battles, and more.

Help Mrs. Mosher

Dearborn Elementary School is in Northridge, CA and has a diverse student population. Over 500 students attend Dearborn. Approximately 17% of Dearborn's students are English Language Learners, 14% of Dearborn's students receive special education services, and 46% of students are on a free lunch program. Dearborn is a Title I school. Learning about the American Revolution is a challenge for our students because the majority of them have been born and raised here in Southern California and have little basis for understanding the east coast and the 1700's and are not immersed in history as students growing up back east might be! Many of our students are also second language learners or Title I students which have had limited exposure to cultural and historical activities. I have chosen this field trip to add to our unit of study because my past experiences have shown that our students have great difficulty relating to and understanding the difficulties, significant events, and causes of the Revolution. I believe providing our students with this hands-on experience will deepen their knowledge and understanding of this crucial time in America's past. Taking our students to Riley's Farm is the best way to bring the American Revolution to life for them! Our students can participate in several activities that recreate important events from the Revolutionary War time period. Through this amazing field trip students will see first hand the impact of the Stamp Act, the trade & navigation acts of the time, what life was like for soldiers in the Continental Army, as well as what it was like for families living in war-torn parts of the east coast. Please help bring my love of American history to my students by enabling us to take this very powerful field trip!
