CLASSROOM SHOWCASE
Here are some pictures of Sandra Ham's Hudson Park 5/6 class. They did mini- presentations about U.S. political parties for the civics unit.
Please send me pictures, and be sure to include the branch name and level. I need them by the end of the business day on Wednesday. If I already have enough submissions for the week- that just means your pictures will be published the next week. Personally, I think the pictures that you share are the best part of the blog.
Thank you! elizabethschade@nypl.org
