Our instructional coach Mrs. Harris and Mrs. Stewart teamed up for a hands-on lesson to kick off the transcontinental railroad unit in Benchmark Advance. To help build background knowledge, students explored the concepts of community and economy—and brought them to life by sculpting the words with Play-Doh. It was a creative and engaging way to lay the foundation for what’s ahead!
