5th/6th Religion – The 5-11 religion class completed a small research project about Pope Francis. Students in 5-11 created a slide presentation with two Pope appropriate facts and added an image to each slide.
The 6th grade Pope Francis research project took a little more time. Students answered questions about Pope Francis, created their own motto and explained the meaning of it, created a new pectoral cross for Pope Francis and explained why they chose their new symbols, and created their own coat of arms.
