First grade is traveling back in time to learn all about the Ancient Maya! 🌎🏺🔎
We kicked off our Mayan study with a fun “Can You Dig It?” activity! Our little archaeologists dug through rice to uncover artifacts connected to Mayan life, including corn, squash, bones, pyramids, calendars, hieroglyphics, and more. We talked about how archaeologists use artifacts to learn about people who lived long ago.
We’re also connecting our learning to our own classroom community by discussing what it takes to build a successful civilization—and a successful classroom! 💙 We talked about how working together, showing respect, being responsible, and supporting one another help our classroom community thrive.
Such a fun way to bring Social Studies to life! 🏺✨
