February 4th & 5th Grade Project Descriptions

Welcome to another week of school! Today most 4th and 5th grade students started a new project cycle. Some of you asked for project descriptions, so here they are! :-)

"Something to Talk About" ~ (Continues from last project cycle)
Students will write, interview, anchor, and edit stories for a television program airing on Comcast and possibly on Fox TV.

"Eco Systems"
Students will investigate what makes up an ecosystem, how organisms within and ecosystem depend upon each other, and what destroys an ecosystem. Students will have the opportunity to create their own ecosystem, and investigate an ecosystem of their choice.

"Heroes, Icons, and Legends: A Living Museum Exhibit!"
Come and explore those individuals who have changed the shape of the world forever! Here is your opportunity to learn about, and embody, a person who you feel has played an invaluable role in shaping history. Bring your creativity, passion, and performance skills along as this project will culminate in a real, wax museum exhibit which we will create for the entire school!

"Artistic Expressions of Oregon"
Express your artistic side as we explore the geography, history, and government of the great state of Oregon. Find out how Oregon came to be! You will create a salt dough map representing the geography of Oregon. You will recreate the diverse landscapes/habitats found in our beautiful state, and you will create a memory book. We will use the memory books to teach a partner class about the great state of Oregon!
