==Our big research project for this grade level is discovering America's National Parks. The students will work in teams of 3 to discover the beauty of a national park. They will plan a road trip to the park and estimate costs for travel, lodging, food, and fun times! They will plan their trip based on the research they have done through the eyes of a Park Ranger, Conservationist and fun seeking tourist. Stay tuned for more information!==
