As an introduction to Social Studies this year, students in grade three
at Holy Savior School in Rumford read the book "Now and Ben" by Gene
Barretta. The children discovered the genius of Ben Franklin by
studying the inventions of modern times which originated more than 200
years ago. The inventions were inspired by the common sense and
intelligence of one of the most influential figures in American
history. Students were given clothespins and wooden stands and made
clothespin dolls of Franklin. They also wrote letters to Ben Franklin
thanking him for the various inventions that are still in use today.
Students are pictured with their projects.
