Survival Projects

Next week in Reading students will be presenting their survival projects. Students have had a choice to either build a raft that has survival items on it, create a song about survival techniques, or write a newspaper article about survival methods. Everyone has been working on their projects, and I am looking forward to seeing their final products on Tuesday.
