IMP∆CT - The Fourth Grade Project

Grade 5 students viewed artist Judy Gelles' global art called "The Fourth Grade Project." The project teaches about the power of empathy and understanding. Then the students created their own version, which we affectionately called "The Fifth Grade Project." Here's a sampling.
