Project - Our class has been reading Maze of Bones, a part of the 39 Clues series. This is a fun and exciting mystery involving the Cahill family. We have learned that Benjamin Franklin is a descendent of the Cahill Family.
Today, our class, along with Mr. Curran’s class conducted research around Benjamin Franklin. With this research, students created a Glogster. Glogster is a virtual poster. Students received a log in and password to their individual Glogster.
Exhibitions – Exhibitions begin next week. I am very excited to see each student’s presentation. This is one of my favorite times of the year. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me.
Break – It is my hope that each of you enjoys your break. We will see you on Monday.
