Holiday Hill Elementary
Students Can Be Whom They "Wannabee"
Administrators and teachers at Holiday Hill Elementary
created a special program to assist students in
preparing for the FCAT. Starting in September for
approximately two hours every Wednesday, fourth grade
students participated in a writing camp, and fifth grade
students took part in a math camp. The weekly camps
culminated in January with Camp Iwannabee. During this
week-long camp, fourth and fifth grade students spent
each day working as writers, mathematicians and
scientists to complete projects from start to finish.
Students also received visits from motivational
speakers.
The school’s project was funded through donations
received by the school. According to Principal Sharon
Sanders, teachers were supportive of the project.
Fourth and fifth grade teachers worked together to plan
and teach lessons, and they even decorated the learning
environment to reflect a real campsite.
