UMMS 6th-graders in Mr. Feldman's Social Studies class brought history to life as they traveled to Ancient Mesopotamia, with their culminating event being the Marshmallow Catapult War Games. Students became members of ancient city-states, strategized, and battled it out in three challenges: Distance, Accuracy, and the Knock Out Round!
Students also researched and constructed Ziggurats - each city-state built its temple with unique touches that reflect their personality and identity.
Hats off to Mr. Feldman and his students for turning learning into an immersive experience and unforgettable adventure! 👏
