Springfield history project

My fourth grade class is learning about Springfield History... Please help us learn more about Springfield and its history!


My fourth grade social studies class has finally picked their Springfield History research topics. These are the final topics:

1927 Flood, Hospital, Police Department, Machine Shops (with Fellows Gear Shaper being a main focus), Farming, Inventions, People, Schools

Students are working in small groups of 2-4. They will be doing some research and then would love to interview people about their topics. We are more than happy to send questions to interviewees ahead of time.

If you can help out, please contact me! asylvester@ssdvt.org
