Mr. Pool's HMS 8th grade class welcomed Mrs. Pool's Pre-K class from Corvallis Primary School this week! They teamed up to learn about the Great Depression.

Students learned a valuable lesson about the differences between needs and wants. They also did a hands-on project constructing "Hoovervilles".

Students used available materials to create livable structures, just as Americans did back in the 1930's. The lesson was a great success and a great way to end the quarter!

The Pre-K students also made a stop at Mr. Williams' 19th century "Mountain Man Artifacts" exhibit before they headed back to school.

This crossover lesson was such a great example of how both young and older students can benefit from working together to gain unique perspectives! Thank you to Mr. and Mrs. Pool for providing this opportunity for our students!

Mrs. Pool's Pre-k students from Corvallis Primary school took a field trip to HMS last week to team up with Mr. Pool's 8th graders to learn about the Great Depression. Students learned about the differences between needs and wants then did a hand on project with 8th graders of making "Hoovervilles". Students used available materials to create livable structures just as Americans did back in the 1930's. The lesson was a great success and a great way to end the quarter after learning about the Great Depression for the past week in class. In addition, down the hall Mr. Williams had a mountain man 19th century artifacts exhibit that the Pre-K students got to observe before they headed back to school.

Last week, eight students from Hamilton High School's Classroom Without Walls (CWW) class designed and taught lessons about rainbow trout to Mrs. Stuber's 4th grade class. One group taught students how to identify rainbow trout and their external anatomy. The other group taught students about the trout life cycle and environmental requirements for their survival. Both lessons were designed to help prepare Mrs. Stuber's class for the Trout in the Classroom program. High school students were required to create a slideshow, a notes handout, and an engaging activity for their lesson. This was a fun and meaningful experience for both classes!
