GOLDEN POND
In early April, students visited the Golden Pond Assisted Living Residence and interviewed some of the residents there.  With a partner, students then created biographies about their new "friends." On April 26, students presented their Biography Slideshows - complete with pictures and animation - to the residents, and left them with hardcopies to remember them by.  Please click on the links below to see the presentations!  (You must have Microsoft Powerpoint to view the shows.) Enjoy!
