Hello room 75!
What a great Monday! Students are very excited as the holidays are approaching! Many are choosing to write letters to Santa during Daily 5! We continue to be listening to our friends share their origins projects. Today we listened as Kareem shared his powerpoint on Egypt. In his project he included a video of him interviewing his dad and asking him many questions. Then he shared a variety of foods that are from Egypt, many of which he has eaten himself! This afternoon we listened to Bailey share her report on Germany, and she was proud to pass around an artifact from home. An extremely old book written in German! Jullianne shared the book she made about her country of origin, The Philippines. She included a variety of pictures to add to her report on the information she got from interviewing her mom. Ask your child to share with you the greeting that young people give to their elders as a sign of respect. Wilson shared his powerpoint project on his country of origin, England. He included a picture of his great great grandpa in his project. He also included the birth signs with each of the famous people he included in his report, which lead to all the students wanting to know that theirs is. (Mine is aquarius.)
Remember, if you have not finished your project, please do so and bring it in so that you can share it with your class. We will continue to decide who will be presenting, by random draw!!
This morning we met with our buddies from Mrs. Sloane's class and we started to work on our ornaments. Ask you child to share with you who their buddy is and what their ornament is that they are creating.
