Impact to My Classroom

# of Students Impacted: 17

The students worked hard to complete a commulative progect called America: Then and Now. Their scrap book of writing, crafts, and projects were put together in a book they shared with their classmates and parents. The students were able to gain additional knowledge by reading picture books about famous Americans and history events. 

The students also completed a biography writing, recorded QR code about their person, and made a  "hanger person about the famous person who changed America. Students used several different books include Who Was the Wright Brothers, She Persisted, and George, John and Ben. 

The activities and knowledge will last a life time!
