Jay Flies Through 10J >  >
 * In //Jay Flies Through 10J //, students will meet Jay Eagle and explore their local, regional or state economy. They’ll then write a letter and illustrate a picture about Jay’s visit to their area. At the end of the project, students will be able to read letters and view illustrations from classrooms throughout the District. This project correlates with fourth grade social studies standards, but other grades, K-6, are welcome to participate as well. Participating teachers will receive a stuffed Jay Eagle mascot to use for the project and then keep it in their classroom
