Shawnee Heights Students Get Firsthand Look at WWII
Students at Shawnee Heights Elementary School got a first-hand look at
World War II artifacts Friday.
The school invited speakers representing Germany, Italy, Russia, Great
Britain and the United States to share their knowledge with the students.
The speakers dressed in period costumes and showed off artifacts like
weapons, helmets and patches.
Fourth grade teacher Joe Taylor says
it's a way for students to experience the era hands-on. He says the
students do things like see what it's like to carry a heavy backpack for a
whole day.
