An Inventive Experience
Benjamin Franklin Elementary School Teacher, Mrs. Lianne Gerety and her 4th Grade class recently celebrated the completion of an inventive learning experience. Each student did a project on an inventor and what a wonderful job! They all did great. It’s important for all of us to recognize the efforts of ALL teachers that goes above and beyond the call of duty. I don’t see it as “No Child Left Behind”, I’ve seen many teachers try their best and I call it, “Our kids future in mind!” Benjamin Franklin Principal Daniel Coffey said, “This year at Benjamin Franklin teachers were encouraged to have their students work on reports and projects on various topics. Students were to "drill down" and become "experts" in a given field or on a certain topic. This is a great way for students to make connections to the world and build background knowledge. By sharing reports all students learned a great deal.
“I am most impressed with the students and their work so far this year! Our teachers have done a sensational job of bringing the material to life and supporting the students in their studies.” Coffey concluded. It’s not just about one school either. It’s about schools and teachers who do the same all over the area. Listed below are the students and who they presented on: Jada learned about Frank Rudy Isabella learned about Albert Einstein Shyneicelearned about Tim Beners Lee Joseph learned about Ken Kutaragi Photini learned about Thomas Andrews Devon learned about Karl Benz Brittney learned about Steve Jobs Olivia learned about Robert Moog Conner learned about John Pemberton
