Today we celebrated Literacy Day with the whole school. We were divided into four different groups and each group focused on a different country. Students in kindergarten to grade seven worked together to learn more about India, Egypt, Kenya, and Vietnam.
In our groups we used books from the library and information from the internet to research ideas for the books we would create about our countries. Our books were modeled after the example Mrs. Walker, our librarian, read us. It was titled, We’re Sailing to Galapagos written by Laurie Krebs. We brainstormed ideas and worked together to create the cut paper illustrations and the text for each page.
After lunch we all got together and each group shared their book with the rest of the students. All of the students did an amazing job!
The students in Mrs. Watson’s group also added their pages to a VoiceThread so that they could embed their book on their blogs.
To finish the day everyone buddied up and found a spot to read the great books Mrs. Walker had for us to take home. It was the perfect ending to a great day.
A huge thank you to Mrs. Walker for organizing such a wonderful day for all of us!
