Mount Rushmore & I Am Poems

Yesterday afternoon we learned about Mount Rushmore.  First, we read a non-fiction book about Mount Rushmore.  Next, we added our own faces to Mount Rushmore and sorted facts and opinions.



After that, students had a chance to build their own monuments out of Play-Doh.




As a part of our literacy unit this week we read the book I Am America by Charles R. Smith Jr.  We then worked hard to write rough drafts of I Am poems.  Students did a great job using all that they have learned about blending and segmenting to write their poems and used lots of creative ideas!  Today we put the finishing touches on our final drafts.  The poems turned out awesome!!

    No wonder he's been talking about going to South Dakota. I thought it was pretty random, but now i know why :)
