Ms. Holly from the Highlands Biological Station visited several of our classrooms today. Highlands School is blessed with wonderful community resrouces that partner with our teachers and students.
Students from Mr. Brown's World History class had an assignment to build a model structure of Roman Architecture since they are studying Ancient Rome. This group decided to build the Colosseum. Along with constructing a model of the Colosseum, they also had to write a narrative about a person during Roman times, make a blueprint along with the dimensions, and also write ten facts about the building.
