Incorporating National Endowment Grant Materials Into the Fifth Grade Curriculum

Bardonia has received a “Picturing America” grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities--- a bookshelf of 22 books and 40 works of art composed of forty, carefully selected works of art spanning several centuries — by American painters, sculptors, photographers, and architects. Our object is to enhance the curriculums of American history, social studies, language arts, literature, science and mathematics by writing lesson plans and resource guides utilizing these materials.

Lesson Plan

Today I added activities to my lesson plan, checked work of our team and sent out a couple of emails. I put in 1.5 hours of work and have logged in 4.5 hours for July. Everyone is reminded that we will need to complete 4 hours of work in July and 4 hours in early August to complete the 24-12 project. So far everything looks great.

One of our local neighbors stopped by to check my work, and Cathy snapped a photo.
