Sixth graders traveled back in time to the ancient world, using interactive Merge Cubes to explore fascinating artifacts like the Rosetta Stone and Canopic Jars. They also toured incredible sites including the Pyramids of Giza, the Great Wall of China, the Mayan city of Tikal, and more.
Meanwhile, seventh grade DLI students set sail during the Age of Exploration—comparing Old and New World cities and even stepping aboard Columbus’ ships.
It’s been an exciting few weeks of hands-on (and virtual) learning in social studies!
