Mr. Soelzer’s 5th grade class took our school a "Step Back in Time” as they wrapped up their study of American history from 1800–1840. This culminating activity was designed in the style of a science fair with a historical twist and a bit of dramatic flair.

Students researched key topics from the era, developed historical characters, and presented their learning from a variety of perspectives. Visitors of all ages were invited to explore the exhibits and engage with students as they brought history to life.

Throughout the event, 5th graders shared their knowledge on topics such as westward expansion and pioneers, the Industrial Revolution, and slavery. Their creativity, research, and storytelling made for an engaging experience that truly transported attendees back in time.
