WE CHANGED THE WORLD

For the conclusion of our "Tread Lightly" PBL, the girls created their very own ACTION PLANS using research and what they were passionate about to help change the world! The girls have been researching and working on documenting their amazing plans of action before Christmas break, and lately room 402 has been busy with writers, artists, and presenters!

After gathering all of the documentation, we wrote about...
1. The environmental problem and why it's important
2. The plan of action 
3. The benefits and potential problems/solutions
4. The impact of the action plan

The girls LOVED decorating and presenting their Action Plan documentation, which you can now see up and down the 4th grade hallway!

These girls sure care a whole awful lot about making our world a better place, and I could not be more proud of their hard work and impact on our community!!
