NTCA Sixth Graders spent Tuesday, November 29th immersed in the history of the beautiful city of St. Petersburg, FL. Students used literacy and collaborative skills to search for interesting facts and hidden secrets of the city. For example, did you know that the first newspaper published in St. Pete was called the Evening Independent and that it was free on any day that the sun did not shine?
The Sixth Graders also found out that the Euro is the currency used in Europe. . .unscrambling letters on the famous St. Pete Sundial helped them figure out that one!
A relaxing picnic lunch in the park and Kilwins ice cream for dessert was the favorite part of the day. All agreed that studying the history of St. Petersburg through an urban scavenger hunt was a fun and creative way to learn!
