Terrace Town is fast approaching. We have three Randall classes that are participating this year! My role is a little different this time around. Last time I did Terrace Town with three fifth grade classes with no collaboration from classroom teachers. This year, the three classroom teachers are in charge of everything but construction and even that’s a collaborative effort! It’s so much more fun when we all work together.. : )
My role in Terrace Town kicked off last week with a walking tour of our neighborhood with our students, teachers and wonderful parent volunteers.
Here’s a photo diary of our journey-
Bike trails. See the Capitol hiding back there?
Mixed use buildings with small, local businesses.
Mini-library.
Another mixed use building, Trader Joe’s.
Finding answers on our worksheets..
Talking about the Indian Mounds in the green space.
Accessibility issues.
Co-housing.
Walking back.. : )

What a rich experience for your students, and the perfect opportunity to strengthen their sense of place.
