4th Grade Field Trip

Our daughter attends a nurturing, peaceful school where the boys are surprisingly chivalrous, and the students are exceedingly respectful and well behaved (at least while at school), likely because of the structure and discipline that I would call "militaristic" if the faculty were not so caring, loving, and kind. Well, I dropped her off at school on April 22 with nothing but a sack lunch and excitement over the day's Bentonville Battlefield field trip, and she came home with this replica Civil War rifle with which she keeps doing rifle drills. 

 

Maybe I should call it "militaristic" after all, or perhaps she's just like her father.

Here are some photos from the field trip.

 

 

You just gotta love a school headmaster who plays the role of a fallen enemy soldier in the kids' reenactment.
