Project+Based+Learning

In first grade, we are in the beginning stages of our journey into the 21st century skills. This year, we tackled "project-based learning" by participating in Leaders in Literature. Students were asked to choose a storybook character. Students wrote a script that included a short re-tell of the plot, how the character showed leadership, and a Covey Habit that was found in the book. On a chosen night, the students' families were invited to "meet" these characters. The students dressed up as the characters and delivered their speeches as the character. It was a wonderful night of sharing and learning! Cindy Mitchell, English Estates.
