What can a classroom trash bag tell you? A LOT!
Highland middle schoolers stepped into archaeologists' shoes, analyzing real classroom trash collected by teachers. By examining clues like assignment printouts, art scraps, and subject-specific notes, students categorized artifacts and used evidence to determine which classroom each “excavation site” came from.
To wrap up their investigation, students used Claim-Evidence-Reasoning (CER) to support their conclusions, and connecting their findings to Wisconsin Social Studies inquiry standards.
Who knew trash could tell such a story? 🔎🗑️📚

👏 Great job, second graders, on showing teamwork, critical thinking, creativity, and collaboration!
