We express ourselves in so many ways and through this unit of inquiry we are looking specifically at how we express ourselves through celebrations and traditions. We started our study off we a Gallery Walk looking at all our pictures. *Thank you for sending them over.
We took all our pictures and used our awesome writing skills to share what our tradition was and put it up for others to read and learn more about us and our families. We sure are proud of our work!
Our investigation area has some things we are familiar with and other things we are wondering about.
We know that writing is a great way to express ourselves. We wanted to share some kindness with our CSU students, so we created letters and pictures to spread a little happiness their way.
Did you know the Cleveland Ballet came to perform the Nutcracker for us (well, parts anyway). They did an amazing job expressing the story with music and dance.
Giving a gift to those we care about is another way to express how we feel. Today we went to the Holiday Shop. We had a great time picking out just the perfect gift and then wrapping it up.
Writing, Writing, Writing!
Our writing is fantastic. We are working hard to write all the sounds we hear in each word. We have had a ton of fun labeling parts of our class and working together to write even longer words. Take a look...
