4th Grade Family College Presentations

What a fantastic day of learning all about what these wonderful children hope to be when they grow up!  I hope they learned from the process and from each other.  I was most pleasantly surprised with how many out of state colleges were researched!  These kids can aspire to do anything they want as long as they work hard.

Below is a padlet showing the research topics from each student and some links to presentations and/or videos.  I've also included some pictures of the students presenting.
