Our 4th grade students have been learning about the prefectures of Japan and researching historical sites throughout the country. As part of their studies, students identified which prefectures these sites are located in and created presentations to share their learning.

We’re excited to share their work with you as you plan your summer adventures! Take a moment to explore the slides below, where each student highlights a unique historical site and its significance.
