Our 4th grade historians are diving deep into the fascinating world of Florida’s early explorers! 🗺️ They’re researching the journeys and legacies of these pioneers, uncovering the stories behind their voyages. But they’re not just learning about history; they’re rewriting it! As an exciting extension project, our students are crafting “autobiographies” from the explorers’ perspectives, imagining how they could have approached trade and exploration with a focus on peace and collaboration.🤝

This cross-curricular project beautifully blends social studies with ELA, allowing students to flex their research, writing, and creative thinking muscles. 😀 They’re not just learning about the past; they’re envisioning a more harmonious future! ✨
