3rd Grade Passion Projects

The purpose of The Passion Project is to empower kids to connect with their best ideas.  I have encouraged risk-taking, learning from mistakes, and creativity!  Projects this year do not disappoint! Students chose to design their own websites, create a comic, or write their own story with illustrations. Below are pictures of completed presentations.

Happy Birthday to Me!

We returned to school after Christmas break on my birthday this year.  Of course it was a Monday when I am at Washington School.  The 3rd and 4th grade students celebrated with me while we ate chocolates and graham crackers.  The day disappeared in fun and celebration of learning!  Students shared their passion projects with the class.  Wonderful first day back in 2015.
