Brimfield Students Study US Regions


Mrs. Harper and Mrs. Twynham fifth grade students used their time in the AT&T Classroom to study the regions of the United States. Students followed a daily plan as they researched and experienced various aspects of the major regions of our country. Information about the regions on a variety of topics was recorded on a note taking grid called Tic Tak Toe. Once the facts were accumulated the students created a PowerPoint slide presentation. Students used Palm Handheld Computers daily to record journal entries describing what they learned.


Each student contributed to a movie that was created on each region. These movies were posted on a class blog where parents, teachers and fellow students could observe the student work.
