Egyptian Farming Steps (World History)

Had the class get into collaborative groups to study/create a diagram explaining how a teenager assisted their parents in farming during the ancient times in Egypt. 

Anti-Bullying Wall

Our 8th grade students created this anti-bullying wall to show their support for the cause.  Here at Davis County, we want our students to feel welcome in a learning environment! 

Egyptian Cartouches!

Student examples of cartouches.  Our students dyed these in tea to make them look authentic.  They then wrote their first and last names in hieroglyphics along with a design to represent ancient Egypt.  Fun!

World History Personal Timelines

Our World History classroom was learning how to make timelines with the BC/AD concept.  Our students created personal timelines where they used BMB/AMB (Before My Birth/After My Birth).  They brought family photos to school to create this project and then presented themselves to the classroom! 

Classroom Forts!

Our students researched the first permanent settlement in North America (Jamestown).  They learned how the colony narrowly became the first fort.  After learning about the settler hardships, they created forts of their own design using what they learned about Jamestown's geographical location. 

Local Courthouse

Hello! 

Today I took the kids on a short field trip the the courthouse to learn about our local government.  The kids began yesterday with exploring our county's government website.  They then saw the offices in action as they took a tour through the entire Davis County courthouse!  I'm glad that the weather held out...because we got our workout walking there from the middle school. This is a picture of our county supervisor, Dale Taylor as he speaks to our students in the courtroom.  I think that the kids really enjoyed it! 

Tomorrow, we have a guest speaked coming into our classroom to talk to the kids about local history!
