Barnum Woods Elementary School second-graders recently engaged in a unit of study on famous Americans.
As part of the unit, students researched and read biographies on famous individuals, including George Washington, Amelia Earhart and Thomas Edison. To celebrate who they studied, second-graders dressed up in costumes as iconic Americans and participated in a parade around their school.
They visited other classes and explained to fellow students who they were dressed as. Students learned valuable historical knowledge about an array of famous Americans as well as their contributions to American society.
