The 4 C's: Collaboration, Communication, Creativity, and Critical Thinking

After our wonderful presentation by Monty Selby monteselby.com yesterday during our staff development, I was reminded about the incorporation of the 4 Cs into our daily lessons.  Today, I wanted to finish up our social studies research on Immigrants with a project-based activity that not only allowed kids to be creative, but also to collaborate with a peer. Tomorrow, they will be communicating their understandings about immigrants with other students in our classroom!

Here are a few photos of our work today!
