The fourth grade will walk across Ohio in 20 seconds in a Map Room, meet our state legislator, stand on the spot where President Lincoln's body lay in state nearly 150 years ago and see the Chamber where the Legislature voted that 18-year-old citizens merited the right to vote. Then, the fourth grade will take a tour of a full-size replica of the ship Columbus sailed to the New World. The fourth grade will also find out how the ship functions, how the sailors lived, and how they navigated the ship. How is all this possible? The fourth grade will be taking their classroom experience outside of the classroom and travel to "the field" on Friday, Sept. 20, 2013 --- to the Ohio Statehouse and the Santa Maria. Participants need to bring a sack lunch.
