Benton fourth grade students got to experience early Indiana history with a field trip to Forks of the Wabash. Students loved visiting the one-room schoolhouse, home of Chief Richardville, and learning about Miami tribe traditions. There's a rich history still alive in the Hoosier state, and Benton's classes were able to see first-hand how those traditions are still all around us!
We noted a couple weeks ago Fairfield engineering teacher Jim Jones was honored as one of the top STEM teachers in the state. Well, his direction this past week helped out not only his students, but others in the school district.
Needing a project for his engineering class, Jones' students took on and executed storage units for New Paris' kindergarten and first grade class word work boards. Each class is now equipped with places to keep their boards in part to the handiwork of the students in Jones' classes.
Storage units look great, well done!
