Enhancing Student Learning Through Scrapbooking: A Grade 5 Research Project

This project at Gardnertown Fundamental Elementary School focuses on improving Grade 5 students' learning through scrapbooking. Students research historical figures such as Harriet Tubman, Jackie Robinson, Cesar Chavez, and Zora Neale Hurston, creating diary entries, journal writings, and letters that reflect their lives and contributions to society. The goal is to deepen students' understanding of historical relevance and encourage creative expression. By sharing their work with the community, students can enhance critical thinking and writing skills, while fostering a connection to history.
