History in the Making

 

Bucksport Elementary  School,

6th grade, 2021

 

Sixth grade students explored and documented the impact of the ongoing Covid pandemic on their personal lives, their school and their community. They wrote reflections of their own experiences with remote learning and social isolation, as well as interviewing local community members: a manager at Hannafords, a nurse at EMMC, an editor at the Ellsworth American and a beauty salon owner.
