8th grade geography class is studying North America. Each student picked two states and created their state flags. Then they researched and added the area, population, and capital of each of their states.
The halls of the high school smelled absolutely divine as students began cutting and baking the walls of their gingerbread houses today!! Here is 2nd hour hard at work!! Final products will be posted later in the week :)
The 4th graders have been learning about The First People that lived in our country during social studies. They have learned about the Paleo and Archaic People along with the Mound Builders and Native Americans. The kids loved learning about the Native American culture by watching some videos on powwows and learning a traditional Native American game called ‘moccasin game.’ You and your family can learn how to play as well!
