Biography Night
In social studies, students have been participating in the
6th Grade Biography Project
! This is a fun and engaging way for students to demonstrate research and writing skills, and practice presenting information in front of an audience. Students picked an impactful person they were interested in learning about and researched their life and accomplishments.
On Wednesday evening, students transformed our school into a living museum and audience members had a chance to learn about each historical figure's life.
