Third-graders at Half Day School traveled back to 1893, stepping into the sights and sounds of the historic Chicago World’s Fair. Just like the 27 million visitors who once marveled at the grand exposition, our students experienced a world of innovation and culture.
Dressed in period clothing, students embraced the spirit of the late 19th century, while others proudly showcased attire from their family's country of origin, celebrating the fair’s global impact. The third-grade team transformed the school into a vibrant fairground, complete with booths representing different nations, fascinating exhibits like the Palace of Fine Arts and the Administration Building, and engaging hands-on activities. Teachers brought history to life with artifacts, international flags, crafts, and games, making this immersive experience both educational and unforgettable.
