Garfield School second graders in Mrs. Mancuso's class participated in a fun challenge to start the new school year. Students had to pretend they were stuck on an island in the hot sun. They needed to design a hat to help protect them from sunburn. Properties such as softness, stiffness, and sweat-soaking materials were considered when designing.

Garfield School: 6th-grade social studies classes wrapped up their first lesson on ancient artifacts and cave drawings with hands-on projects! Students used clay to design artifacts like pottery, arrowheads, and animal carvings, while others created posters with painted cave drawings that reproduced ancient images. A creative way to bring history to life!
