Learning+about+Costa+Rica

Tomorrow students in seventh and eighth grade will be visiting the library to begin working on their Costa Rica project. Students will research the goegraphy,marine life, natural landmarks,politics,history,culture,cuisine and wildlife of Costa Rica. They will be able to choose the topics they want to research as well as how they want to present their topic. It is a lesson which highlights the idea that all students can learn they just may do so in different ways! It should be a great way to get the students knowledgeable about Costa Rica so that when I send back video,and reports from Costa Rica they will be able to recognize some of the places.

Sixth graders will begin working on a project about celebrations. We are so lucky to have students with a multi cultural backgwound in our class. I am sure I am going to learn much from them!
