What's In That Almanac?
What's In That Almanac? is a student-choice enrichment activity. Each quarter a new theme of research topics will be posted on the What's In That Almanac? board. Students are encouraged to enrich their learning by participating in the different activities. Each quarter there will be a new theme for students to participate in. Activites include conducting research, creating posters, presenting to the class, watching videos, creating Powerpoints, and so much more! All work on these projects are not taken for a grade, but they are fun activities that the students can work on when they finish classwork to enrich their learning and discover something new! Most of the What's In That Almanac? activities are to be completed in class, but some activities might need to be brought home to be completed. I look forward to seeing the work the students create!
