Putting on the Finishing Touches
4/20/2018
This week, students focused heavily on two project based learning units. The first unit is a social studies unit focused on the American Revolution. Students are creating "choose your own adventure" stories based on the events of the American Revolution. The project allows students to create alternate histories to show how differently history could have worked out. Not only is this activity important for understanding history, but it helps students understand how even small actions in their own lives can have substantial impacts on the world. The second project based learning unit is focused on science. We have been studying space, and our project will be auctioned off at PNA's annual auction this Saturday. Look for a game called Space Race and please bid on it! Students put a lot of work into it, and it turned out really well! In the pictures below, students are painting the 3D printed game pieces. We moved our classroom outside to take advantage of the nice spring weather. Look at the concentration! You can see the little ships on the cardboard before being painted.
