Making Paper with STEAM!!

Ms. Zermeno's class is learning about Chinese civilization through the ancient art of papermaking. It can be a messy process, but with great results!
Pictured are the EXPERT GROUP of students from Ms. Zermeno's class. They are learning the process and then will be teaching it to the rest of the classes. A real example of students being in charge of their learning.

History in Action

Ms. Castro's 8th grade  class visited the Japanese American National Museum in Los Angeles.  They were learning about Executive Order  #9066 & Japanese Internment Camps.  Students toured the museum with docents that actually experienced living in the internment camps. They also received a lesson in Origami.

In 1942, the United States government ordered more than 110,000 men, women, and children to leave their homes and detained them in remote, military-style camps. Manzanar War Relocation Center was one of ten camps where Japanese American citizens and resident Japanese aliens were interned during World War II.
