Show
#105:
Project
Adventure - In an effort to boost students' self-confidence
and self- awareness, the Delaware Valley Regional High
School in Frenchtown built a challenging ropes course.
Students in Project Adventure put on their helmets,
strap in their belts, and climb on 50-foot high ropes
and fly through the air on a zip wire.
Say
them Loud and Clear - Students at Roosevelt Elementary
School in River Edge will honor those who died in wars
by reading their names out loud and researching their
backgrounds to write biographies. Each morning the students
will read six names every day until all 13,800 names
have been read. The program is designed to help students
understand that the men who gave the ultimate sacrifice
for their country are real people.
Civic
& Government Institute - Montclair High School has
created a small school within the school focusing on
the content area of Civics and Government. One of the
benefits of this institute is to give students more
individual attention that is often missing in a larger
high school.
Election
- Four years ago, fifth graders in Mahwah created their
own presidential race - from campaign rallies to Election
Day. The students took on the roles of the candidates,
their wives, secret service agents, reporters, and supporters
of candidates. This show follows-up with those same
students to see if their interest in this year's presidential
election has been heightened as a result of their elementary
school experience.
