Proud Project Moments:)

Wow!  Our class projects are a huge success!  Students began a "Gallery Walk" around the room today viewing each project and providing one "plus" and one thought or wish.  We will conclude our gallery walk Monday and display our projects on the stage of the cafeteria to share our learning.  You can view some pictures here, and more will be posted soon. :)
