NO SCHOOL: Holiday Recess 12/23–1/1
Students in Dylon Peertamsingh’s sixth grade social studies class at Albany International Center wrapped up their lessons about China on Wednesday by analyzing reproductions of the Qingming Scroll, a painting highlighting 12th century Chinese commerce.
Students used magnifying glasses to identify the activities depicted on the scroll, wrote down their observations and interpretations, and discussed their findings in small groups. They finished the lesson by sharing an observation with the whole class.
Take a look at a Facebook photo album of their work. (You don't need a Facebook account to see the photos linked in the highlighted text. A window may appear that says, "To see more from Albany City Schools on Facebook, log on or create an account,” but you can dismiss it by clicking “not now.”)
