Artifact Sharing

Sharing artifact bags at the beginning of the school year is fun, but a little scary.  

As we start to teach social studies, we discuss that you can learn about history in many ways.  You can ask an expert, research a topic, read a book, visit a museum, or study artifacts.  Students were asked to collect 4-5 items from home to help us learn more about them.

Today, on our 6th day of school, students stood in front of their peers and shared some "artifacts" that helped us learn more about them.  It was a little lesson on public speaking.  We reviewed speaking to your audience, talking in a clear voice, and courteously asking questions and commenting on presentations. 

Interestingly, we have several:

  • rock collectors
  • hockey, soccer, and baseball lovers
  • dancers
  • readers
  • Lego lovers
  • animal enthusiasts
