The 4th grade class has started project Based Learning! The idea of this concept is that students are given the materials and resources to help them facilitate their own learning and demonstrate understanding through collaborative projects. Last week the class went above and beyond the assigned project of paraphrasing the Preamble of the United States Constitution. It was great to see how active and engaged the groups were. Their final projects will be on display in our classroom.
