Fourth Grade Studies North Carolina

As culmination to the fourth grade’s unit studying North Carolina, students were asked to choose a NC landmark or notable North Carolinian to research. In addition to their research, they created visual aids for their presentations in class. For those who explored notable people, they were allowed to dress as those people. Set-up in the dining commons, parents and other lower school classes were invited to come learn more about North Carolina from the fourth grade students.
