Student sends her class on a virtual field trip
Nina Geraci, in Ms. Finnegan's 4th grade class at Arapahoe Ridge Elementary, studied the country of France as an independent study project in collaboration with her Advanced Learning Plan. Nina has a strong desire to visit Paris. She built an Eiffel Tower out of legos, presented a detailed slideshow to her class, and brought in croissants to share with the class. She did all of this wearing a beret to create a very French mood in the classroom!
Thank you to Ms. Finnegan for fostering a learning environment that empowers her students to study and learn about their interests!
