FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Breach's classroom raised $368

This project is fully funded

My Students

The students in our school represent the diverse population of New York City. Our ambitious and hard-working students are eager to learn and express themselves. We will be writing a newsletter on the Middle Ages for our next project.

Our students will be putting their writing skills to the test as they collaborate to create a newsletter on the Middle Ages.

Students will be researching and writing about topics such as the Black Death, the Crusades and the lifestyle and technology of the times. They will present their findings in engaging newspaper articles.

My Project

My students are eager to learn about the Middle Ages and share their findings in their first ever newsletter. Our students will need the pencil sharpener to write notes during the research phase of their project. They will use the ink cartridges when they are ready to print their newspapers on our classroom printer.

Our students have been developing their writing skills and this project gives them the opportunity to showcase their abilities.

The students delve into the topics that interest them and gather material for their articles. They will print their final products in class. These impressive newsletters will be displayed in the class and on our bulletin boards.
