It's a Monu-MENTAL Idea! 

       Join us for a Monu-MENTAL trek through history. Students use their MENTAL skills to select a  historical monument, building, park, or landmark and research its special heritage.  Why was it built?  What historical event does it commemorate?   How is it used today?  (Curriculum Connections: interdisciplinary, history/social studies, language arts, math, science. See Teaching Ideas)

Ashville, NC:  The Life and Work of Douglas Ellington, Architect, West Buncombe Elementary School, David Kafitz, Teacher.
