On Monday, East Elementary 3rd graders visited the Plimoth Patuxet Museums to learn about the Wampanoag people and 1600s colonial settlers. They explored a wetu, handled traditional tools, and saw a duck roasting over an open fire. In the 17th-century English Village, they toured Pilgrim homes and played games. The PTO proudly sponsored this hands-on history experience! Big thanks to East PTO @ptoeastelementary for sponsoring this enriching trip for our students!
