4th and 5th Grade Thankful Projects

Students in Mrs. Newsom's classes focused on atypical things to be thankful for this year.
The lesson was about finding the good in the bad and turning what they saw as a negative into a positive.
Each student came up with some pretty interesting ideas as they investigated and displayed understanding of the tools in PowerPoint, and more importantly they all view those things they all try to avoid a little differently now.
