Hands-on Learning and Fun!

This trimester we are learning how people interact with their environment for survival. We cultivated our backyard garden, and prepared the seedlings to be transplanted in a few weeks. In addition, we have joined four different tribal regions, as we "become" a Native American, by examining food, clothing and shelters. We are using the skills of measuring, geometry, compare/contrast, observation, and questioning during our project time.
