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!
