FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Evans's classroom raised $272

My Project

“What makes us who we are? As we form bonds with other people and our communities over time, we realize that experiences from our past shape who we are in the present.” This is the overall purpose of our second unit.

Students will examine what makes them who they are.

They will examine family history, intersections, and the makeup of different parts of their personalities. Each student will be given a trifold board to display their gathered information. Students will be encouraged to be creative and thoughtful. The final products will be part of a gallery walk so students can share their identities with each other.
