Of Thee I Sing: Letters to 4th Graders
Famous Haundenosaunee and New Yorkers
Mrs. Conners' 4th grade students have been researching famous people that have some connection to New York State. Each student researched a chosen person, then worked on 4 separate projects about the person, including a photostory that the entire class contributed to. The photostory was modeled after President Barack Obama's recent picture book titled Of Thee I Sing: A Letter to My Daughters.
You can view the class photostory by clicking the picture above.

Below are the links to the other individual student projects, including:
- A glog (digital poster) that gives a brief history of the person each student researched
- A blabber (talking picture) that explains why the person should be remembered
- A voki (talking avatar), that each student created in their own likeness, that reveals how the student felt about the project as a whole
