Willard Prior students get creative with their learning and artwork!

Fourth graders at Willard Prior worked on New York State-Next Generation Standards for Informational Text and Persuasive Writing through the study of the “elusive” Bigfoot. It is not uncommon to see shows on tv with bigfoot hunters roaming american forests. The students shared their own thoughts about the topic and discussed other “cryptids” like the Lochness Monster and the Yeti to begin the mini unit. The class researched and shared information using an online sharing platform called Padlet to explore the thousands of new species of animals that are found every year. It made them wonder if he could possibly be real, but just not “found” yet by scientists.

The federal Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) provides financial assistance to local educational agencies for children from low-income families to help ensure that all children meet challenging state academic standards. This is called Title I.
