Mother's Day Gift

This is the gift the we created for our mothers, grandmothers or the person that cares for us at home. We created a "Breakfast in Bed" gift bag with a muffin and an orange.   We illustrate a book called "If you Give a Mom a Muffin".  It had our picture in it pretending to eat mom's muffin.  We also gave mom a calendar.
K.T. said she read the book to her mom, aunts, and gradma.  They clapped at the end of the story and they said it was beautiful.  E.L.'s mom liked the gift and divided the muffin into 4 pieces to share.  C.C's mom said "Thank you." and "I love you."  C.B's mom said that she loved it and she would love if she had another muffin to go with it.  M.H.'s grandma hugged her and was happy.  S.S's mom received flowers, a card and the bag from him.  She loved it all.

Our African Scrapbook

Personal Writing Journal -4 Square Writing

In our class we use a process called "4 Square Writing".  We started off putting 4 squares on a page in our writing journals.  We would put our topic sentence in box one, details about the topic in box two and three, and a closing in box four.  Since we are getting toward the end of the year we are writing the process with one box per page.  This was our first attempt at a longer story.  You will notice that this is not a totally polished story.  We would do more editing if we were going to take the story out of our journal and publish it.  The goal of the personal journal is to get  the ideas and writing process down on paper.



Passport to the World for Multicultural Week

We liked muliticultural week because we got to do a lot of fun activities.  We got to tour and look at other class' countries that they had studied. We had a passport and got stickers from each country. All the table displays were beautiful.   We saw different kinds of food. We learned how to speak Swahili.  We learned China has panda bears. Panda bears eat bamboo in China. We learned Egypt has pyramids.  All the contries speak different languages.   It was cool. 

Our Week in Africa

Multicultural Week Africa

We love Africa!  There are lots and lots of animals in Africa! Some of the animals are really pretty and colorful.  There are some big animals in Africa like elephants and giraffes. There are boa constrictor snakes there also. In some parts of Africa there is not much water.   There are 2 deserts in Africa. The deserts have lots of sand.  The desert is really, really hot and dry.  The Sahara Desert is as big as the United States.  There is an island surrounded by water called Madagascar.  Madagascar is the largest island in the world.  There are  a lot of people living in Africa. Africa is really cool!
