My Project

Across the school, students are engaging in informational writing projects! It's a very exciting time of year for students to select a topic to research. Some grades are researching animals or countries--however we want to extend the range of options to include people as well. Through this project students can use the book to research, the post its to take notes and booklets to create their project.

We students are very excited to celebrate as a school next month and share their research projects with the entire community of writers.
