Students used their three best ideas from Crazy Eights and the word association activity to create a poster of their solution.

Students prepared a slideshow presentation for PTO, who was our community sponsor.

Students participated in a gallery walk to share their solutions.

PTO decided to support three solutions for our driving question. One from each grade level.

Students continued to narrow down their solutions with dot voting.

After discussing our findings from Chalk Talk, students started brainstorming ideas using the Crazy Eights Protocol.

To begin their investigation, students took a memory walk through the school and grounds. They recorded different memories of their time spent at North Holland in their notebooks.

# data[].attributes.body
Students wanted to know what others thought was special about NH. So they developed interview questions to ask students and staff about their favorite NH memories.

We also had to get approval from our Assistant Superintendent of Elementary Instruction and the District Superintendent. Both audiences provided good feedback for how students implement their solutions.

Finally the put the top solutions through the NUF Test to narrow down their ideas to the final two that were presented to the PTO.

# data[].attributes.body
We also used word association to help narrow our focus for our solutions. We chose the word “celebrate” because we want to say goodbye to NH and celebrate our time there.

Students then compiled all of their information and added more ideas using the Chalk Talk Protocol.

We worked with our building PTO.

We also received feedback from our District Superintendent and Assistant Superintendent of Elementary Curriculum.

How to say goodbye to North Holland?

# data[].attributes.body
I think taking the time out of teaching curriculum and devoting two weeks to our project really worked well. We kept the momentum going and were able to complete the project with six solid solutions.

While the timeline was good, it also made the project completion a bit stressful. Not receiving immediate feedback and having to pitch our ideas twice, has lengthened the project and now we are down to the wire to actually complete it.

In the future, hopefully we can streamline the ending process for a smoother project completion.

Despite this, the students have loved every minute of it!

# data[].attributes.body
After our Gallery Walk students were able to ask clarifying questions about each solution that was presented.

# data[].attributes.body
We watched a video of how to say goodbye in 46 different languages.

# data[].attributes.body
We then identified our own feelings about saying goodbye to our school using the Blob Tree.

# data[].attributes.body
We also created an action plan for our final pitch. Our due dates were the Monday before our final presentation.

# data[].attributes.body
The next step was to discuss our hopes and fears for the project.
