21st Century Learning
Project-based learning is
utilized regularly in first grade.
Projects are done about the City of Corcoran, farms, and a pen pal
project for each class is in the preliminary stages. Some kindergarten teachers
have done projects on plants and
animals. Both grade levels go on field
trips related to a project they have completed.
Kindergarten classes go to the Chaffee Zoo in Fresno and First Grade
classes visit Rosa Brother's Dairy. Project-based
learning is a work in progress. First
grade teachers have worked together to do grade level projects. Kindergarten teachers have worked on projects
in with their own classes, but not as a whole grade level.

This impact will affect student learning in a positive way. After all, that’s why we do what we do!
