1st Grade students in Ms. Carroll's class presented their "Magnificent Things" today as part of the performance task for their ELA pilot unit, Tools at Work. Students utilized their reading, writing, language, and speaking skills from the unit to research and design an object for their classroom, write an informational paragraph about it, and create and share a presentation as a group. We are so proud of you!
