State Research Report Projects...

One of the big changes with the evolution to the "common core" state standards for education is a more balanced approach between fiction and non-fiction in the classroom.  In thinking about this, third graders at Harrington have been busy reading and researching about a state.  Our class is in the midst of this work, which is a wonderful way to work across the disciplines of reading, writing and social studies.  Once their research is complete, students have been creating a large poster to display their information.  They will have an opportunity to present their boards and all of the information gained through the project to fellow classmates.  Be sure to ask at home about their states!
