Happy vacation!

Our amazing Culture Unit culminated on Tuesday with a Project Based Learning whole school presentation. The preschool shared a digital presentation of them singing a song from another country, the Kindergarten shared their adorable class book on homes around the world, the two 1/2 classrooms shared a digital recording of their class books, and the 3/4 did a very cool video presentation in front of a green screen. The presentation ended with the whole school singing "I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing".

For our class books, the first and second graders chose the cultural topic that they wanted to research. The students researched their topic through both print and digital books, and took notes accordingly. The students then had to type their notes and find photos to match their writing. This process was a huge learning experience for all!

Happy vacation to all of you! Enjoy the break, get some rest, and play outside! We look forward to seeing you all in March!
