Margaret -This has been a fun project to work on. I liked that my contributions to this Traveling Trunk have risen from things that I can do in my classroom, making it a very practical application for my teaching.
Mary – This has been a most practical project with exciting applications for my instructional practices in the future.
Jonna-I have enjoyed working on this project. I teach kindergarten and most of our Social Studies standards are about patriotism.
