On Wednesday, May 22, 2013, the 5th graders presented their “Question It” projects at the Apple store in Manhasset. It was a night full of excitement. The 5th graders questioned the news, TV, magazines, new media, videos, computer games, and movies. I am 100 percent positive that all of the 5th graders cannot wait for the “Take Notice” project next year.
