Come on Down... to the History Fair!

This week our fabulous 4th grade students participated in the school history fair. Their instructions were to construct a project representing a portion of Alabama History. My Mom teaches 4th grade in my hometown and I loved Alabama History when I was a 4th grader so this is always dear to me! I love to see what all the kids come up with and am anxious to ask them how much work they did on their projects :)

Take a look at what the 4th grade academy hallways looked like over the last week... I'm happy to say my "home" is in the 4th grade academy!

Some students even did Iola Roberts Elementary... I say it is an AWESOME part of Alabama History in St. Clair County!

This was the winning project... A perfect representation of downtown Pell City! 

Some of the other wonderful projects...

The Battleship!

Several students did Avondale Mills which is a large part of Pell City history. 

The 2nd place project... another great one!

Alabama Theater

 

Very detailed work!

If you've ever been to Noccalula Falls then you have to appreciate this one!

As you can see some of the students chose other parts of Alabama History, but some chose to stay close to home in Pell City and St. Clair County. You can also see that I teach some pretty amazing 4th graders! These kiddos were in kindergarten my first year at Iola and if I think about it I start to tear up to think that in 3 months I have to send them to the intermediate school! This class is full of leaders, comedians, and fierce competitors! I have no doubt they will go on to do great things!

Have a great weekend!
