Despite another short week, the students were able to get a lot accomplished! They completed their projects on a president of their choice and presented their research to the class on Tuesday.
As part of their requirements, they had to educate their peers on the background information of their president (Think 5W's!). They also chose five major events that happened either around or during their presidency to share with their classmates. Lastly, and most importantly, they had to highlight the impact that their president's legacy has had on us as American citizens. It was a great way to reflect on how Monday was more than just a typical "day off."

Also in the spirit of democracy, we have finally held our class election in Grade 5! As you may recall, after reading a piece of realistic fiction on student politics, each student wrote and delivered their own campaign speech with their qualifications and calls to action, or suggested improvements, for HCA. After holding a class vote, Grant L. was elected as our fifth grade class representative. He will hopefully get to spend some time with student council representatives in Grades 6-8 to act as the Grade 5 liaison for the class. We look forward to learning more about student government!
