History comes alive in fifth grade!

In Mrs. Hughes's room, students have been learning about the European explorers. As a culminating project today, they imagined they were explorers and dressed the part to persuade King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella of Spain to sponsor their next voyage to the New World. Mrs. Hughes and Mr. Myers played the parts of the King and Queen, and asked the students tough questions about their explorers. Students needed to be able to inform and persuade the King and Queen and their audience of third and fourth graders!
