PROJECTS
Both, 2nd and 3rd graders were given a topic on Friday in religion class for their projects and we briefly discussed what was expected. All information should be presented on a tri-fold board. Pictures may be printed and used for demonstration. Information may be typed and glued or handwritten on the board. This is the time to get very creative with your board to present the information on your topics.
