Ms. Hawkins' 2nd-3rd graders at South have been studying money in Math, and reading Greek myths in their *Wonders* curriculum. Today they put both together with Social Studies and imagination, and recreated an Ancient Greek marketplace! Students donned Greek tunics, set up Greek food stalls, bought and sold goodies with one another, and tried new foods. They paid and made change using their replica classroom coins from Math. All ended the day with full tummies, big smiles, and so much multisensory learning!
STUCO is hosting a Chiefs spirit week next week for the Super Bowl. We look forward to seeing your school spirit.
