In 5th grade, a big project is the 'biography project.' Students pick a person and read about their life. I'm not sure all what they do, but dressing up as that person and giving a presentation in character, is part of it. All of the classes make a model of that person too. We enjoyed hearing all about Alexander the Great!
Teaching elementary school students is a wonderful way to make a living. I have always felt teaching was more of a hobby than a job. I hope to use this blog as another tool of communication with the families of the students who live in Room 17 for their 4th grade year.
