Hi, everyone!
Students began their president game design plans and fact research in Social Studies class today. They were instructed to bring home their red folders, which contain all the paperwork that goes along with the project.
Mrs. Wong has put together a fabulous project page at the link below, which contains links to the sites students may use for research, PDF copies of all the project paperwork, and reminders for citation. While additional sites may be interesting/useful, we're asking that students only record and use information from the four listed sites to keep the kids focused on well-maintained, reputable sites.

The game design plan is due next Monday, February 29th. I will review and approve the plans at that time, and then students may begin constructing their games.
The final game board and timeline are due after March break, on Monday, March 28th. Students are welcomed to bring in work early, if finished before the due date.
We will continue to work on some research in Social Studies as well, and so I will let students know when they need to bring back in their red project folders.
Please be sure to check out the site and folder more project details!
Happy researching/creating/President-ing!
