Field Trip to Monticello

Field Trip to Monticello

On April 18th, we went to Monticello!  It was a very rainy day, but we still had a wonderful time.  We did many indoor activities and had a phenomenal tour guide!  Thank you Ms. Mitchell. We would also like to thank all of our amazing chaperons! :)

Natural Disaster Projects

Natural Disaster Projects
Our class recently studied natural disasters: volcanoes, tsunamis, blizzards, floods, hurricanes, earthquakes, and tornadoes.  The students used their own creativity to determine how to present each disaster to their classmates.  Some of their final projects included posters, games, word searches, and comics, and books. We had a blast!
