Today we were lucky to have Miss Tremblay (a third grade teacher here at ACA) provide our fifth graders with a compelling presentation directly relating to our study of Exploration and the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade. During her collegiate years at Northeastern University, Miss Tremblay studied abroad in Ghana for one month. She shared her experiences with us regarding the areas she visited where the African slave trade was prominent. Click here to see her presentation! Miss Tremblay was even kind enough to show us African clothing (that she helped make), present jewelry she purchased, as well as prepare homemade fried plantains (a common treat in Ghana) for us to enjoy!

Perseverance
We spurn despair and strive to complete tasks to the best of our abilities, regardless of the difficulty. We respond creatively to overcome obstacles and ask for help when necessary.
