Women in History
The
students in fifth grade at Kimball School participate in a Woman in History
Project during the months of January, February, and March.
They
each select a famous woman in history and read about her life and contributions
using books, magazines, and the Internet. Then
the children write an essay about the special characteristics and contributions
of the woman. The
essays are read and rated by other students, parents, teachers, and Kimball
School staff members. The
overall winners, as well as the winners in the special categories, are
recognized at an assembly of fifth grade students, their teachers, and
parents.
