5th Grade EXPERIENCE
On Friday students in 5th grade participated in a colony simulation. They had to plan for and go through a voyage to the new world and work to survive their first year as a colonist. They went through various rounds where they experienced possible situations that real colonists actually experienced. There were also sections where they needed math skills to calculate how many people and pounds of cargo they could take with them. The goal was for them to survive their first year!
You may want to ask your 5th graders about this learning EXPERIENCE! You can see a few pictures below.
