The Integrated Literacy CAD planned a
mini- archaeological dig and archaeological presentation to culminate the unit
of study.
Fourth grade students participated in a
prehistoric mini-archaeological dig this past Friday. Students learned interesting facts from archaeologist, Joel Watkins. Mr. Watkins, from the
Office of Archaeological Research at The University of Alabama, talked
with the fourth grade students about the Trussville Stadium Archaeological Dig
Site and the pre-historical artifacts that were unearthed.
