Our 4th graders made an exciting connection to what they’re learning in Benchmark about the Transcontinental Railroad by taking a field trip to the Henry Flagler Museum!

It was an incredible hands-on experience that helped students see how innovation and transportation changed American history!🚂🛤️ #BCEGators #LearninginAction #UnstoppableTogether
