Our 1st PBL Unit!

Well, you probably heard about this during the first 2 weeks of school when our kiddos were working together on this project, but I am finally getting around to updating our little ole blog here!

Our learners were challenged by our principal and assistant principal to create a "superhero" with a quality that would help make our school an even better place to learn.

They were put into groups and had to figure out their exact task by deciphering the Entry Document given to them by Mrs. H and Mrs. F.  That document was pretty wordy, so our learners had to discuss and figure out what many of the words and phrases meant so they could understand exactly what they needed to do!

They did a great job collaborating, and after fully discovering their task, they made plans and their final product to showcase their team Superheroes!

Here are the finished products displayed in our classroom--each one portrays a specific character quality that the team felt would help our school be a better place to learn...

"Respect Girl"

"Effort Man"

"Super Boy," Effort


"Leo the Super Dog," Caring

I am super excited for our class to begin their next PBL unit in October!  
I know they are going to accomplish great things this year.

Aren't they precious?!
