The students in Mrs. McCarthy’s 3rd grade class took on the identity of an influential American in history, like George Washington and Harriet Tubman, for their year-end history project. In addition to Washington and Tubman, other famous Americans that the students selected to profile from their studies this year of black history or early American history were Benjamin Franklin, Priscilla Mullins, Jesse Owens, Rosa Parks, Jackie Robinson, Harriet Tubman, and George Washington. Students wrote a book report after reading a biography of their chosen American, created a poster with their likeness, and gave oral presentations in class on May 24.
