Savannah's teacher gave her an extra project to do over the XMAS break. Only savannah and one other boy in her class were gives the project. This was extra work that was given to the kids who are testing for the gifted program.
Savamnah had to choose an American hero, research that person, and do some kind of project (or her choice) to capture what she learned. She chose Martin Luther King Jr. So, we went to the library and checked out a big stack of books, and she got to reading. After XMAS she started making a newspaper ad her project. She wrote "articles" about MLKs childhood, family, segregation, and his "i have a dream" speech. She also wrote an article about why she believes he is a hero, and how he inspires her. She wrote that he inspires her because he shows her "how one person can make a big difference in the world".
Today she presented her project to her class, and her teacher emailed me to say she did a great job.
