Sixth grade students did a simulation over the European crusades.  Students learned what the crusades were and how they started.  When students finish the simulation they will be able to explain the cause and effect of the Crusades.  Great activity Mr. Lopez.

At NLC Early Learning Center today, Mrs. Trinity read the story "From Seed to Pumpkin." The students got to use their senses and got a turn at getting the pulp and seeds out of a pumpkin. Sensory activities engage your kids’ senses of sight, sound, touch, and smell.
