For the past two weeks or so, we have been working on Capstone in class. If you do not yet know what Capstone is, it is a big project that fifth graders in my school district take part in. A brief in site on it is that we pick a topic we would like to learn more about, study it and take a lot of notes, take what we have learned and put it on a tri-fold, and then present our awesome finished project to the school, as well as our parents.

For Capstone this year, I have decided to study (drum role please) Backyard Sports Cares. If you do not know what this is, it is an organization that help kids with disabilities and children from under privileged areas to play sports and have fun as an escape from their personal lives. 

A big part of the Capstone process is the research. In all honesty, it is fun, but it does get annoying once you get a lot of info. This is especially difficult for me because I have used all the resources possible, and now have to wait for my interview and cite visit. Oh yeah, another part of the research is an interview and cite visit. This is extremely important and also required.

Despite this however, it has been a lot of fun, and I am excited to see how my final project will turn out. For more information, click here!

(P.S. if you would like to check out mine, and my friends’ complete project, come to the Capstone Museum at Fox Meadow School on July 8th from 5:00-6:30.)
