Our 4th Grade Braves had an amazing trip to Jamestown Settlement today! We had the best day and were able to learn SO much about the cultures that lived just across the James River centuries ago. Virginia Studies is our jam! @OES_Braves @SPSHistory_buzz #SPSCreatesAchievers

Nearpod is always a student favorite when exploring Ancient Greece 🇬🇷🏛️🏺 I never tire of their screams of excitement when we virtually explore the Parthenon and they see it lit up at night for the first time! @NSESDolphins @SPSHistory_buzz

Mrs. Frye's class is having a great time learning about map skills of N & S America! Maybe the Ss were extra excited because it was all edible! Check out the oreo cookie Andes Mts.! @kscary05 @SPSHistory_buzz @HillpointHusky @CatherinePicho3

Florence Graded School was named for Florence Bowser, a noted educator. Suffolk Public Schools still maintains a relationship with Florence Bowser’s grandchildren, Karyn Childs and Kimberly L. Martin, who both regularly contribute to the school.

We used skittles for a real life example of taxation without representation! We ended with a very happy king, happy parliament, and not so happy colonists and tax collectors. #HPleadersofthepack @SPSHistory_buzz

We began our morning with some Studies Weekly reading and crafting like the Germans did in the 1600s! They love reading about history and then putting history into action! #HPleadersofthepack @SPSHistory_buzz

Today begins Native American Heritage Month. Virginia is home to 11 state-recognized tribes, whose communities enrich Virginia’s diverse culture, invigorate Virginia’s communities, and strengthen Virginia’s economy.
