3rd Grade

These are pictures from a China Presentation by Mr. & Mrs. Maxwell.  We are currently studying the continent of Asia in third grade. The Maxwell’s presented a program on the culture of China.  They brought the students fortune cookies, a Chinese Zodiac calendar, and fifty cents for good fortune. Meredith read a story in Chinese that she wrote in Chinese calligraphy.

 

FUSE

4th grade FUSE investigators are working hard to crack the case of The Lost Colony of Roanoke. Students are participating in an unsolved CSI history investigation, looking at scenarios as to why and how these colonists disappeared hundreds of years ago.
