PBL out in the Community.

This week we had four groups present at the Blueberry Board Meeting.  The kids did a great job and the room was packed.  We showed all of the students the final four projects and we talked about doing projects just to get done and doing our personal best on each and every project.  We want the kids to take pride in their work.  We had great response to this first project and we have some things we will do differently next time but all in all it was a big success.

This week we started working on our next PBL project dealing with the election.  We had our vice-presidential candidates answer questions that their classmates had written.  The candidates did a great job.  On Wednesday we voted and selected Griffin to be our team's candidate for the school election.  We will be working as a team to support Griffin in this process.  

Our candidates answering questions from Mr. Hunter.  

We are finishing up the grading period next week.  So AR point are due on Friday the 19th.  Computer carts were delivered this week as well so unless students have homework computers will stay at school over the weekends.  Please help your child remember to bring their chargers to school.  

Have a great weekend.
