Schoharie’s 6th grade students really dug into their agriculture study unit, tapping skills in research, presentation and hands-on creativity to apply what they learned about the land forms that determine what will and won’t grow around the globe.
“In our social studies unit on agriculture, the students learned about river valley populations and how people lived off the land,” said teacher Jenna Viglia. The 6th graders studied land forms and then created models that they displayed, with pride, in the hallway outside their classrooms.
The land form project is an annual favorite of students and staff alike at Schoharie Elementary.
