They went to the planetarium and wrote research reports.
Some of the topics researched included: the history of flight,
inner and outer planets, astrounauts and constellations.
Class 5-330 also created Landforms and Water Way Models.

Mr.
Guzman's Class: 5-348
Students of class 5-348 brainstormed ideas to enhance the
yard entrance to P.S. 20. Then they transferred their ideas
to paper and design, and finally produced a 3D model. Their

entrance an aesthethic design that fulfills function and
connects to our school community and theme. |
