Ms. Dobbs' 7th grade social studies students learn all about Diwali- a Hindu Festival of Lights which was celebrated this past weekend. Students participated in a virtual escape room where they were tasked with completing codes & challenges that could only be answered by reading and learning information about the holiday. Students loved this unique activity and learning more about the Hindu culture!
7th grade Spanish students of Señorita MacFayden's class visit the library to present their Dia De Los Muertos projects! Students have spent weeks learning about the traditions associated with Day of the Dead, researching famous Hispanic and Latino historical figures, and working to create skeletons representative of these individuals lives & contributions. Today students participated in a gallery walk to view their classmates designs and learn a little more information about these historical figures. ¡Buen trabajo!
