HELP WANTED!
Later this week or next, I will send out a project list. Please take a moment and look at the list. Part of this experience is for students to not only research and read about these topics, but to use human resources if possible. If you able to lend your expertise to one of our students, please click on the button below and fill out our form. Even if you know someone else! It will be up to the students to utilize these resources.
I am excited to share this opportunity with your child! I am sure we will need to tweak things along the way as we embark on this new adventure in 3rd grade.
Really?! We can research anything?!
Here are my three rules:
- Must be guided by a question (what, why, how)
- Must be researched (look into it deeply)
- Must be shared! (class, school or even the WORLD!)
How can I share my project?
