They will help fifth graders apply what they learned by developing a business to operate for one night at the April parent-teacher organization meeting. The high school students will develop evaluation tools to determine how many and to what extent each of the economic concepts were addressed while planning and implementing their chosen business. The area will provide a place for community members to rest during basketball games, a place for families to come on Saturdays and during the summer for picnics, and a break area for the junior high students during the school day. Spanish students will plan, create, and implement an International Learning Center in a section of the library. They will also translate English reading books into Spanish and tutor the K-5 migrant students in bilingual reading and speaking activities.
Many students have little contact with people of color and hold stereotypical beliefs.
They will update and expand a comprehensive tree survey that was last conducted in 1982. Upon completion of the study and research, students will develop a multi-media presentation of the oldest trees in the area. The presentation will also include information on historic figures from the area. The Digital Imaging class will assist students in the production of the booklet. The booklet will also serve as a resource directory for the public.
