First Grade
Grade 1 students visited Bong Mu Lake to make discoveries and observations like scientists. They collected bugs, shells, leaves, and rocks. Some students even carried a large log back to school to use in the ECC building. Students will visit the lake again in November to compare how it looked in summer to fall.

3rd Grade
How do we learn about the past, especially before history was recorded? What connects ancient and modern people? Third graders have been exploring these questions and more through the study of archaeology. We have been excited to examine the artifacts of DIS staff, petroglyphs in Korea, and more! We are ready to begin exploring ancient and modern civilizations as archaeologists!
