Social Studies: Partners Around the World worksheet

A few weeks ago, we had the opportunity to spend the day in la Zona Colonial! We went to Alcazar de Colon, Museo de las Casas Reales and the Pantheon Nacional. The students learned all about Dominican history and the influence of the Spanish settlers. They were also able to take what they learned from the trip and apply it to what we were learning about in Social Studies. We had a great time! Below are some photos from the trip.

Last week, we did an experiment in science class! The students looked at a rock, a coin, and a tissue underneath a hand lens and underneath a microscope. We compared what we saw underneath each tool. The whole class decided they prefered the microscope to the hand lens. Here are some pictures from the day!
