Upcoming Projects and Reports

The students are currently completing a web quest project where they need to promote travel to a planet they have chosen to advertise.  The final project will be a travel brochure to be presented to the class.

Students have completed their Civil War book projects.  They were responsible for completing a Coming of Age poster and three other projects of their choice.  The puppet shows, letters, quilt squares, etc. were terrific!  I am so proud of their efforts!

Students are now working on a fairy tale unit.  We have read various fairy tales and discussed the story elements.  Again, the students "work in progress" is excellent.  I am very proud of their efforts, especially with the end of the year quickly approaching.
