In 5th grade we do one of the biggest projects in Heathcote called Capstone. In Capstone you choose a topic you want to learn more about and your interested in. Capstone is a two month project and at the end of it you have a big presentation. You need to do a lot of things in Capstone. You have to use three web-based sources, one database source, one print source, one interview and one site visit. You also need to do a lot of research.

The first step of the Capstone process was choosing a topic. At first I was thinking teaching people how to be an ESPN analiyst. I really wanted to do something sports, music and anxiety-related. I was interested in that because I love listening to music and I have anxiety before games so I can relate to it and sports is my favorite thing. “I told my mom about what I want to do and she came up with an idea that is all of them in one idea which is How athletes mentally prepare for competition.” It is music because they use music to relax. It is sports because that’s what they mentally prepare for. And it’s anxiety because mentally preparing for a game could help players who suffer from anxiety?

I’m so happy that Capstone is up and running. I like my topic and want to learn more about it.
