I feel strongly about the importance of team building and the strength a class can have when they work together. I start my year with lots of team building activities!
Experiential learning is the way to go! We learned about Mesopotamian farming and then I arranged for us to go see how a real farm works!
We had all sorts of fun in our Egypt Unit! We created Egyptian murals, learned about hieroglyphics, and created our own papyrus!
At the end of our Egyptian Unit, we celebrated with a feast uniting our Upper and Lower Egypt classes.
We created stained glass during our unit on the Middle Ages.
We created our own books during our unit on Narrative Writing. We wrote our own stories based around early human kind.
I was lucky enough to direct the Spring Musical- Willy Wonka Jr.!
