Mr. Wronko’s students recently worked on a three stage project. This project allowed the students to use their critical thinking skills and to be very creative like seen in the picture above.
The three stage project was presented to parents, who thought it was very creative, and the students in Ghana. Claire Achedou was one of the students who presented the three stage project to Ghana. In the image above was Amira Gates’ project. Presented below the three stage project:
