5th and 6th Grade Travel Expo

Our 5th and 6th Grade Enrichment students conducted research on a travel destination and presented their findings to other students on Thursday. Students researched the destination, how much it would cost to travel to the destination, what you would see and experience at the destination, and where to stay. Students from other homerooms came to the expo and asked questions. It was neat to see our student interacting with each other and learning from each other. Thank you to Gifted Teacher, Mrs. Miranda Gunter for organizing the Invention Convention and the Travel Expo.
