Seat belts on, everyone! Channel your inner Ms. Frizzle and embark on a field trip in the Lowcountry. Charleston provides endless opportunities for fun, educational learning outside of the classroom. Set sail to Fort Sumter National Monument for today’s history lesson, put your kiddo’s math skills to the test while making a purchase at The Preservation Society of Charleston Gift Shop (or at your favorite Charleston boutique – we won’t judge; math is math, y’all) and challenge them to recreate their favorite work of art at The Gibbes Museum for this week’s art lesson. Scroll on for more field trip opportunities in the Lowcountry!
Pop quiz! Post field trip, put your student’s Charleston history knowledge to the test with this official Explore Charleston quiz.
