Third Grade India Showcase

Third graders wrapped up their study of India and invited their families for a showcase on June 8 to share what they learned about the Himalaya Mountains, the ancient Indus Valley, the development of the base ten number system, the spice route, the building of the Taj Mahal, the British Raj, Gandhi’s peaceful fight for freedom, Mother Teresa’s efforts to serve those in need, as well as animals native to India, such as the peacock and Bengal Tigers. They also learned about various religions, holidays, festivals and customs of India. Written reports and art pieces related to their studies were put into a book and families were invited to view the collection of work.
