Third-Grade Dioramas Cut Across Multiple Disciplines
Some parents may remember creating dioramas out of old shoeboxes when they were in elementary school. Today, Ranney Lower Schoolers are creating full-scale 3-D scenes in our Innovation Lab—and they are doing so in a way that threads the subject matter they are learning across multiple disciplines.
In Mrs. Kapcsos’ third-grade class, students have been studying the Lenape Indians as part of their Social Studies unit. Beyond learning the historical and economical facts about the northeastern tribe, they are writing short essays and then presenting them on video to their classmates. Going a step further, they are also creating scenes of hunting, fishing and main camps using everything from tree bark and pine needles to cardboard tubes and clay in our new Innovation Lab. By combining reading, writing, public speaking and study skills with hands-on learning, teamwork, design and creativity, students are building tangible knowledge in new and exciting ways.
