Sixth grade students in Ms. Davis’s class had a blast today while diving into history and learning about the first Black pirate, Black Caesar! Through AVID Strategies, readings, creative costumes, and even some yummy pirate's booty, students brought the lesson to life and made learning both memorable and exciting.
The class also welcomed a special guest, Mr. Williams from Garber Webster, whose support through adopting Ms. Davis’s classroom helps make hands-on, engaging learning experiences like this possible. Thank you to everyone who helped turn history into an adventure and made today such a fun and meaningful experience for our students! https://eastirondequoit.smugmug.com/Middle-School/2025-26/BHM-Pirate #LancerLEAD
