🌍✨ This week in social studies, our 6th graders explored the difference between absolute and relative location! Students teamed up to move through the 6th grade wing, testing out different scenarios to determine which type of location they were working with. This activity not only helped them think on their feet but also gave them the chance to put one of the 5 Themes of Geography into action in a fun and meaningful way.

One of the best parts was that students got to collaborate with peers from the other grade level team, which made the learning feel like a shared adventure and added to the excitement of the day! 

👏 A big shoutout to our amazing social studies teachers, Mr. DeWindt and Mr. Faulkner, for planning such an engaging and interactive lesson that brought geography to life!
