in the Randall cafeteria. We hope you will be able to attend!
These presentations will be based on the research and writing that students have done in school,
but the presentation will need to be done at home. There are many many choices for how students
can present, it is very open ended to allow students to use their own talents and preferences when
deciding how to present. The requirement is that the student presents their information in a visually
appealing way. Here are some things that students could do, but these are only possibilities, students
can come up with other great ideas.

If your child doesn’t know what one of those formats is, don’t chose that one! The presentation
needs to be relevant to the topic. If your student studied clothing, for example, their visual
presentation should be on clothing. If your student studied Lewis and Clark, their visual should
be about Lewis and Clark. At school the students are preparing all the research they should need
in their paper, they simply need to transfer it to another format for presentation purposes. Students
should also be prepared to convey this information to people observing their presentation. They
should be able to clearly verbalize and share what they know and have learned! We’ve talked
with the students about the value of making the presentation interactive. While this is not a
requirement, it engages the audience and is a way students can go beyond expectations.

We are requesting that all visuals be brought to school on Friday, May 17th, so that we can
make sure we are organized and ready to present!

Pioneer Project has begun!!
The PIONEER PROJECT has begun! This is going to be a month long unit that simulates the westward expansion of the US via the wagon train experience. This week students found out about the project, saw their wagon train members, and chose their pioneer identities. Ask your child who he/she is, how many children they have and more information they discovered about their character today. This week will also include learning more about Manifest Destiny (the 19th-century doctrine or belief that the expansion of the US throughout the American continents was both justified and inevitable), travel by wagon, and pioneer life.
Throughout the project students will apply this new knowledge by making supply lists, writing diary entries and making trail decisions. This project will include much writing, much luck and chance (just like on the actual trails west in the mid 1800s), and other projects students will complete both at school and at home. The points they earn doing this work will allow their wagon train to move along the trail, hopefully arriving safely in Hacker's Valley in the end. Keep an eye out here on the blog for more information.
