Last week we learned all about United States symbols. We also read the book I Am America by Charles R. Smith Jr. and discussed the diversity of our country.
We then worked hard to write I Am poems. Students brainstormed adjectives that described them, things that they hear and see on a regular basis, their favorite things to eat, special things that they wear, and things that they wish for. They then wrote rough and final drafts before drawing self portraits. Their poems and portraits turned out GREAT!
This week we started learning about the freshwater habitats of Minnesota in preparation for our big Minnesota program. Here students were sorting animals that live in a pond from animals that don't.
