Student of the Week!

Sam got chosen to be "Student of the Week" by his teacher for "great listening". He was very proud!

 

 

Thomas Edison's Lab and House in New Jersey

Today Sam visited the house and laboratory of Thomas Edison, an inventor who perfected the use of the lightbulb, phonograph, and motion picture camera. Here Sam is inside Thomas Edison's lab.
