Fourth grade students are learning about the southwest region of the United States by taking a "tour" of the region. Students worked in groups to learn about a place in the region and create a diorama to visually share what the place is like. The students then went on a "tour" by viewing each group's diorama and listening to an oral presentation sharing highlights and facts about each place!
