Crestline sixth-graders show off hobbies

As part of their language arts curriculum, Crestline Elementary sixth-graders took part in a writing project that asked them to focus on one of their hobbies.  

Each student wrote a variety of papers relating to the hobby, created a display board and gave a short presentation to his or her class. 

The project culminated with a hobby fair, with a setup similar to a science fair, including display boards and equipment or items that helped share the hobby. The entire school, as well as parents, were invited to the fair.  

The students also answered questions at their stations. This year, displays included cooking, drawing, music, baseball, football, fishing, basketball, volleyball, golf, white-water rafting, soccer, lacrosse, tennis, gaming and theater. Some students included interactive activities in their presentations, such as baseball trivia games, tennis lessons, a golf putting green, cupcakes to taste and video demonstrations.
