It’s finally time to present! These 3rd graders have worked so hard to share with the class the branches of government, levels of government, and how bills and laws are created. So proud of how well they did!

Students celebrate their small moment personal narratives after going through the whole writing process of editing and revising!

Starting creation on their government posters! They are giving feedback to other groups on how to improve their posters before presenting them to the whole class.

Learning about symmetry with paint! My students are able to clearly see the line of symmetry after painting one side and closing the paper to make it match on the other.

We are beginning our research to answer the question “what does the government do?” #inquiry #studentcenteredlearning
