Archaeologists Mark and Kimberly Trickett presented to our 4th grade classes.
Students learned about artifacts, what archaeologists do, the tools used, and the places in the world where they have gone to find artifacts. Students did several activities that involved describing, sorting, and mapping artifacts.
Due to potential impacts from the impending tropical storm, all CCPS activities scheduled for Saturday, September 23, 2023 and Sunday, September 24, 2023 will be canceled.
Friday night activities will continue as scheduled.
