The history of the Arch

Kevin enjoyed teaching second grade classes at St Teresa and St Joseph Catholic School about the history of Roman arches, how to draw them using a compass and how they were used to build aquaducts. The students used their classmates to make a human aquaduct and a dome. Students taught Kevin about Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian columns. Kevin noted “you all know more about columns as second graders than I did as a college freshman!”
