Mrs. Perillo’s 5th and 6th graders wrapped up an extensive research  project to celebrate the Transcontinental Railroad’s 150th Anniversary.

Students worked together in groups of two to researched many topics including the types of engines that ran on the railroad and how the Transcontinental Railroad effected transportation in the US. Their final projects included poster boards that included maps, mages, fun facts and historical information.

Each student also worked hard building their own train replicas which are displayed in the  hall for all to enjoy!
