5^th grade recently culminated their Revolutionary War studies with an in-depth study of key Virginians of the war.   Students chose an individual to research, wrote a critical analysis about how their person influenced Virginia during the time of the Revolutionary War, and finally crafted an oral presentation to teach their classmates about their historical figure.

What was the most critical contribution (act, idea, document. . . . ) that your individual made during the time of the Revolutionary War?
King George III

Our 4th grade students are studying the regions of the United States.  During Social Studies they focus on the geographical, cultural economical, and historical aspects of the states. During Math the students are grouped in regions and travel calculating mileage on roads of historical paths.
    To experience the relationship between geography and culture, a United States Taste Testing Day is held.  Listen to some of the descriptions of foods and their culture associated with it.   Can you help add to our list of cultural foods???
