6th Graders Try to Make Stone Age Technology

The 6th graders learned about early humans. They also had a chance at trying to make some stone tools using the same techniques that early humans would have used.









Here's another student trying to make some cave art using the technique of blowing paint at her hand. Early humans would have chewed on pigment and sprayed it directly out of their mouths.


Community Helpers

Ellen's kindergarten class learned all about people in our community who help us. Here's a movie that I put together for them from all of their research.
