Spring Archaeological Dig

Our spring dig this year was in April in the early weeks of spring. The theme was Greece during the time of the Middle Ages. The weather was fine and the digging was great. The week culminated in the exhibition of artifacts and a pot luck of Greek delights. Looking forward to next fall!

National Teach-In on Lincoln

In honor of Lincoln's 200th birthday, we viewed the National Teach-In on Lincoln on Lincoln's Birthday. It was awesome to experience this live, with people from places far away from us! The following is a description of the live event from The History Channel's website:

"HISTORY, together with the Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial Commission, presents a National Teach-In on the life and legacy of Abraham Lincoln. Filmed on Lincoln's 200th birthday at the National Archives in Washington, DC. This special event features three Lincoln scholars who share their expertise and answer students' questions from all over the country. The teach-in is recommended for middle through high school, with a particular emphasis on 8th grade, and easily fits within all fifty states' standards of learning."
