BETTER THAN HOMEWORK - A Book about Good Government (Y1) Unit: Societies rely on people with many different abilities to function properly. Teacher: Sara Bashir

Year 1 students were talking about roles in government and what they do. One of our students chose to create this book at home and brought it to class the next day to share. 

We treasure projects like these that students undertake independently at home because they show how each child’s thinking on a particular subject/ topic continues even after they leave school. Instead of assigning a heavy load of scripted homework, projects like these allow the child to show what caught his interest, to be a model to his peers, and to add direction to his own education.
