Description

Students expand their knowledge of the incredible world of cooking, health, and nutrition through this workshop, while they apply social studies to their daily lives in practical ways. The program starts with a discussion about Thomas Jefferson and how his contemporaries wanted to expand the US. This expansion led to the discovery of new plants and animals, which were consumed by the native American Indians and eventually the states comprised of immigrants. The highlight of the program is the adventures of Lewis and Clark as well as their discoveries and success as they travel the country. It also touches on the various tribes of Indians and other important figures who helped them on their way across America. This program is tailored to be appropriate for early, middle, or upper elementary grades. It can be TEKS-adjusted if requested by the teacher. Call 972.800.5344 to schedule.
