Celebs on the Map

The celebs recently spent some time exploring our state of Tennessee. With the help of the Tennessee State Museum, we borrowed a mobile learning lab. The celebs enjoyed exploring Tennessee on a HUGE canvas map. They learned about many products and resources from Tennessee and where in our state they are located. They even did a scavenger hunt to find out more about these items. Some of our state's most important resources are the people! Therefore, the celebs did some research about these important Tennesseans and created a Top 10 list of their important details. These were shared with the class and then their photo was placed on the map in the correlating county. Check out the paparazzi pics of all our great Tennessee learning...
