We hit the ground running back from break! No better way to kick off the final quarter of the sixth grade year than with the climactic project for the past month and a half: the Archeological Dig! This week, sixth graders buried their secret artifacts up on the hill behind our classroom. The following day, groups rotated to a new excavation site and discovered a whole new civilization! THANK YOU to all the parents who were able to provide waters, snacks, and supervisory support throughout the two days! Thank you in particular to Patty Murray and Kim Jeter for coordinating and contributing! Tuesday: Burying ArtifactsWednesday: THE DIGGroups documented their discoveries by measuring coordinates of the artifact location and photographing it before removing. Over the next week, students will research and present their "findings" at an in-class archeological conference next Friday. Identifying Artifacts |
