Special Thanksgiving Research Project

 

This year our class will be participating in an Internet project. I did this project last year and found it to be a wonderful way to teach math, social studies, writing, reading, and technology. You children need to go to the market with you and record some prices. We will use this information as part of the project. For those of you that have Internet at home you can read about this project at:
