The goal of the project is to join together Washington students in learning about their state while using the Washington State Academic Learning Requirements to guide and support the learning process. The Across Washington project is sponsored by The Learning Space and Bellingham School District. Project teams can consist of individual students or teams of students within specific classrooms or across grades.
Students can also involve parents, senior citizens, community and business members.
Project submissions can be in the form of poems, essays, films, photos, presentations, musical compositions, visual art works, science experiments, etc. Projects should also reflect essential academic learning requirements that are met. Engage the business community to showcase and celebrate these projects in local businesses, restaurants, government offices, hospitals and other public locations. Local community recognition events will be encouraged. Develop and implement a statewide project involving K-12 students and the education community to celebrate the Millennium.
