My Students

My scholars are 6th grade All Star Leaders are proactive and prepared for class. These scholars are very creative and innovative thinkers. They enjoy making the characters come alive in our reading. They don't mind being pushed to the next level.

My Project

This project will be 50% in school and 50% in home research and action plan. Our 6th-grade All-Star Leaders will use the materials to connect information about other teens in America. They will research inside and outside the United States about what other youth are doing to help their communities. They will take this information to make a connection of what specific contributions are made in their communities by volunteering their time and talents to help serve others. Scholars will understand the importance of how economics work in conjunction with world history.
