My best students, along with the Honors English and History students, were lucky to enjoy a trip to the Wadsworth Antheneum. We enjoyed a scavenger hunt for the oldest gravestone in the cemetery downtown, and talked about life in Hartford when our state was just a colony. At the museum, two wonderful docents gave tours of historical paintings, photographs, and my personal favorite, a variety of Andy Warhol screen prints. Below are some photographs from our adventure, as taken by stellar photographer Shanice McKenzie.
I am extremely proud of our students behavior on the trip. They were mature, respectful, and engaged in the presentations given to us in the museum. Students also showed off their knowledge by easily answering questions during analysis of the different works of art. It was a great way to reward our students who have worked hard during the school year!
