  • Community Contributor: Our project will make students aware of the complexity of our community. They will be more aware of their place within the community.

  • Constructive Thinker: Students will review information and decide which is useful and appropriate to the project.

  • Quality Producer: We will use the Hyperstudio program as a way to organize our research and produce a product we will be proud to share with our school
