Students travel the world thanks to technology

Fifth grade kicked off a new unit on ancient civilizations Friday with a trip to Egypt…a virtual trip, that is!

Caroline Dobson’s classes enjoyed guidance from district tech coach Jeremy Dudley as they explored the Nile River Valley with virtual reality headsets.

The social studies unit will end with an actual trip to the Albany Institute of History and Art in December!
