Preparation: The fifth grade students prepared for a visit from Mr. and Mrs. Brooks with the help of Ms. Wasserman and Mrs. Peabody.

Before they came to our class, we had to organize our notes. Plus we made pictures of what might have happened to them like blind, can't hear, and a lot of other things that effect them as they get old. ...Joel

Miss Chris talked to us about how they may have problems because they are old, and to ignore it. ...Emily B.

The Project Continued as Mr. and Mrs. Brooks brought their stories to Elementary Children. The students listened carefully, used video camera, and digital camera to record the community histories. They have begun to write what they learned.

Mr. & Mrs. Brooks tell their story.
