HSH 3rd Graders stepped into the role of docents recently and took their parents and the school community on a mini tour of the many historical landmarks of Los Angeles! Each student presented facts, history, pictures, and general information on an LA landmark. In addition, they built mini replicas of their buildings by using recyclable materials and any other supplies they deemed useful. Their projects were quite impressive! Did you know that City Hall was built in 1928 for about 7.5 million dollars or that the LA Memorial Coliseum has an original stone from both the coliseum in Rome and Athens? Have you ever seen the Binoculars Building built by architect Frank Gehry in Venice Beach or tasted a delicious donut from Randy’s Donuts? Next time you spot a 3rd Grader, feel free to ask them more!
