Ancient cultures come to life

On December 14, Jen Sica’s fifth grade class at Hilton’s Northwood Elementary School gave guests a peek into what life was like for the Incas, Aztecs, and Mayans. They created virtual museums, and two- and three-dimensional displays to illustrate the clothing, beliefs, homes, calendar, food, traditions, and creations of these ancient civilizations, and shared what they learned with their guests.

“It’s interesting to learn about the aqueducts, temples and gods,” said Tatum Von Bramer, who did his project on the Aztecs.

“I love their clothing style and how they made chocolate and the calendar,” said Mikaela Wawrzyniak about the Mayan civilization.
