During the first week of school, fifth graders at Canyon Ranch Elementary created “Me Museums” to introduce themselves to their classmates, bringing in special items from home that represent who they are and the things they love to do. This creative activity gave students a fun opportunity to share their interests, learn more about one another and celebrate the unique qualities that make their classroom community special.
