On Day 2 of our new adventure, we acquainted our students with what our project is going to be about, American Education, Past and Future and what the end product will look like. Teachers used their Smartboards to show the students a web of the main categories of the project. The categories include people, events, tools, inventions, the influence of the Catholic Church, school buildings, and the school day. Students then brainstormed their ideas for each category. This was an amazing process to watch. I was surprised how many ideas the students have! They were oozing with them!
We then showed our students this website which also houses our virtual museum. When the projects are finished, they will be uploaded to the museum. This allows our students to use multi-media that best fits their multiple intelligence strength.

This is one of our second graders showing the lanyard and badge she made on Day 1. The badge has the student's name and their multiple intelligence strengths listed on it in words or in pictures. By having the students wear the badges during "project time", the teachers are able to assist them more quickly with a quick glance to see in what intelligences they are working.
Mrs. Halker is shown here with her Smartboard web. You can see all of the ideas our kindergarten and first grade students generated!
 Our 7th and 8th grade students worked together in small groups. The groups rotated around to different charts on the walls and brainstormed their ideas there. |  |
