Last week, Mrs. Rickard turned her classroom into a full-blown cave system — and students came ready to explore! 🦴🔦

Students crawled through the transformation to discover recreations of ancient cave art, studying each piece and discussing what these drawings might have meant to the people who made them thousands of years ago. From hunting scenes to handprints, our students got a hands-on look at how early humans told their stories long before writing existed.
