Last week we met with our 6th grade buddies for the first time! Each partnership read a brief story about Ellis Island immigrants, then made a Christmas cube about what the holidays might have been like during that time. Our buddies helped us with our fluency and higher level thinking skills. We also got a lot of practice with speaking and listening skills. We're excited to meet with them again this week!
We've also been doing some stained glass art projects. We looked at pictures of some buildings in Salt Lake City that use stained glass to tell a story or remember a special event. Then we made two different kinds of stained glass on our own - one with tissue paper and one with markers on transparencies.
There have been quite a few updates on the blog lately. Check out the calendar of events for current event due dates and Polar Express Day. Scroll down to see our birthdays, student of the week and current curriculum. Also, click on "Exploring Enrichment" and "Read and Write with Ease" for Christmas Around the World and KidBlog, in addition to several other new links. Happy Holidays!
