Julie Dermody’s fourth-grade class of English Language Learners open their museum, “Our Life,†today (Thursday) at Scroggs Elementary School.
For the year-long project, students made multiple trips to the Ackland Art Museum and used resources from UNC’s Wilson Library, riding free Chapel Hill buses for the field trips. A local artist assisted students in creating life sculptures and the Public School Foundation provided funding for the project.
The class is a model of the sheltered instruction-observation protocol model.
