Mrs. Cauthorne’s fourth grade class began working on their Civil War people in Pixie.  The boys made themselves as soldiers in the Civil War. They had to write sentences explaining what was going on in the war from their side.  The girls made themselves women during the Civil War and wrote about what they had to do.  They wrote about helping wounded soldiers, opening their homes to soldiers, and cooking for them while their husbands, brothers, and sons were away at war.

Ms. Bell’s second graders took a virtual field trip to China.  The students pretended they were posing on the Great Wall of China as a warrior or a Chinese maiden.  They also wrote sentences to tell about what they had learned about China.
