The Barnesville School HUMANITIES program aims to instill in our
students a love of history, culture, literature, poetry, art, and drama
while learning to make sense of the world around them. Barnesville
fosters a love of READING AND WRITING, and students gain
confidence in PUBLIC SPEAKING from an early age.
Examples:
• As first graders develop into stronger readers, they read to Preschool students
who are working on pre-literacy skills, building enthusiasm around reading for
both groups of students.
• A year-long study of a U.S. state in fourth grade SOCIAL STUDIES prepares
students for progressively more challenging research, writing, and presentations
throughout Middle School.
• Students read Shakespeare in seventh grade as part of their study of the
Renaissance.
• Eighth grade reads classics like Of Mice and Men, e Outsiders, and To Kill a
Mockingbird, and Animal Farm.
