2nd Graders Explore Downtown Charleston in Walking History Tour

On November 1, the PCA second graders went on a field trip to downtown Charleston. The children spent the morning exploring our city and culture. Each class had their own tour guide who gave them a unique historical tour. Highlights from the tours included learning about buildings and architecture, the founding of Charleston, historical churches, Blackbeard the pirate, and the Powder Magazine.

Following the tours, the classes reunited along the waterfront (by the Pineapple Fountain) and enjoyed sack lunches on the lawn before heading back to school. It was a wonderful morning filled with history, beauty and fun.

Learning Fire Safety and Giving Back

The Preschool had their annual visit from the Mt. Pleasant fire department last week. It was a beautiful fall day as each class came outside to meet the firemen, learn some important information about fire safety, and tour a fire truck. They learned to call 911 in an emergency and to "stop, drop and roll!" if they smell smoke. They also saw a fireman dress in his fire suit and mask. Nora in 4B said her favorite part was "going inside the fire truck" and Molly in 3C said she liked giving the firemen a high five. The preschool collected snacks, water, and Gatorade all week to present to the firemen as a thank you. It was a great day to be at PCA Preschool!
