Community project

We have been busy learning about our community in research. Here are a few pictures of us drawing pictures that represent rural, urban, and suburban communities. 

Community brochures

We teamed up with Ms. Woo and Ms. Husketh to use the computers to create community brochures. Students did a great time on the computers and can't wait to use them again.
