Students in Jen Manfredi's fourth-grade class at Central Elementary School learned about the Northeast region by forming travel agencies, conducting research, and planning a field trip to their states. They completed a budget sheet, created a brochure using Canva, and presented their trips in "Shark Tank"-style pitches. This activity incorporated English Language Arts, math, and social studies. They had fun collaborating in person and digitally and enjoyed learning from each other!
