On Monday, the fourth grade class took a virtual field trip to Corinth, Greece. They met with archaeologist Taylor Cwikla, who shared some history and artifacts from the archaeological site at ancient Corinth. She also introduced the Museum Maker project, in which the fourth graders will become museum curators and collaborate with Ms. Cwikla to design an exhibit on daily life. Students will use the database of artifacts found in Corinth to select objects that reflect what they are learning about daily life in ancient Greece. They will organize their artifacts and create labels for the exhibit. Once complete, their exhibit will be put on display at the Archeological Museum at Ancient Corinth. We are excited to take part in this collaboration with Ms. Cwikla and the American School of Classical Studies at Athens. We look forward to sharing our museum exhibit with you when it is complete.
