Third grade has finished one of our big projects for the year. This European Explorer activity ends our unit and is such a fun way for kids to research. Each team was assigned an explorer and had to look up facts about each. We then created life size versions of our explorers. We traced bodies then used poster paper, tin foil, tissue paper, and any other classroom items to create! They all did such a great job!
Questions to ask your student:
What explorer did your group have and what was your responsibility?
What country did your explorer come from and what was he looking for?
