WELCOME TO OUR MUSEUM

This project is part of our third grade social studies curriculum. Each year our third grade students study the history of Illinois, Chicago, and the village we live in - Wilmette. Our students get excited about research by using primary resources and a process called the "Independent Investigation Method" or "IIM". Please feel free to explore our museum.
