Foster Elementary 3rd graders finished their Wampanoag studies today with a fun Wetu Walkthrough! Students built unique models of Wetus and Longhouses using natural materials, inspired by how the Wampanoag people lived. Classmates, staff, and administrators toured the displays, asked questions, and shared positive feedback.
This weekend, Christina O'Connor, HHS Social Studies teacher, Deirdre Anderson, Hingham Historical Society Executive Director, and Andy Hoey, K-12 Social Studies Director, presented at the National Council for the Social Studies annual conference in Boston.
Their presentation, Partnering with Your Local Historical Society: Student Engagement and Historical Thinking, explored how collaboration can bring history to life for students.
We're fortunate to have such a strong historical society in Hingham, making it easy to connect students with local history in meaningful ways.
