Eggert Third Graders Bring History to Life

 

Eggert Elementary School’s third graders recently took their learning beyond the classroom walls, offering parents and guests a unique, interactive experience that blended research, technology, and creativity. The event, designed to showcase the students’ hard work and growing knowledge, transformed the classroom into a lively historical exhibit.

Students have been researching influential historical figures, delving into their lives, achievements, and impact on society. Their findings were then brought to life through recorded presentations, which guests could access by scanning QR codes placed throughout the room. This innovative approach allowed visitors to move at their own pace, engaging with each historical figure in an immersive and dynamic way.

To make the experience even more interactive, attendees participated in a Biography Bingo challenge. As they explored the room, they listened to student-created audio recordings and gathered key facts to mark off on their Bingo cards. This activity not only made learning fun but also encouraged deeper engagement with the material.

Parents and guests were impressed by the students' enthusiasm and depth of knowledge, as well as their ability to merge traditional research with modern technology. The event not only reinforced historical learning but also helped students develop important skills in public speaking, digital literacy, and critical thinking.

Through this innovative showcase, Eggert’s third graders proved that history isn’t just something found in textbooks—it’s a story worth telling, exploring, and sharing in new and creative ways!
