Our Intermediate Unit students - those in Grades 3, 4, and 5 - completed their unit of study on the United States with a parade through the hallways. Each student conducted research and then created a parade "float" to represent the most important aspects of their state including but not limited to (they were VERY imaginative and informative!) the state flag, bird, points of interest, and natural resources. What an engaging way to learn about our country!
