Our Arizona Living History Museum! The kids were AMAZING!!!

At our Living History Museum, each student researched a famous Arizonan and created a characterization of this person! They wrote a report, made a poster, and were prepared to answer questions about their figure in Arizona's history!

I was so impressed with the way the students worked on this and answered questions the day of the "living museum"!

I really feel all of their Discovery Speech practice over the course of the year helped to make them more at ease in front of an "audience"!

GREAT JOB, GUYS!!!

Some Pics from the AZ State Capitol Field Trip!

It was so much fun to visit the state capitol and to reinforce all the things we have been learning this year regarding the Grand Canyon State!
