Choosing a Country

Today we got to choose any country to study about. We learned so many things today. I think that everyone enjoyed doing our activity. When you got all of your facts together then you would make something to go with your facts like a game, powerpoint, or even a newspaper! Everyone had fun today and they had a great time even though it took a while to do, we got it done.

The End of Our Japanese Adventure

Today we researched the rest of the Japan facts that we needed. To show all the facts we learned about Japan we could make a powerpoint, a game, or a travel brochure. After evryone finished making their display of facts,we heated up our Japanese rice and ate. When we finished eating, we shared our powerpoint but,unfortunately, the people who made a game didn't have time to share,so we will share them next week.Until next blog,sayonara!!!!

This week we studied about Japan. We drew maps of Japan and it's surrounding countries. We also went outside and wrote Japanese haiku's while Mrs.Griffith read Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes. Then we came back to the classroom and made Japenese oragami style bookmarks. We did a lot in Japan today!

You're Not My Mummy

Today we studied my absolute favorite place. Let me give you some hints. It has pyramids, mummies, and the great Nile river. Today in gifted we learned about Egyptian heiroglyphs. (letters from ancient Egypt.) We also read a readers theater about Egypt. My favorite part is when our librarian taught us how to make a clip art movie. At the end of the day we all made a rebus to challenge our parents.

Learning about Egypt:)

Today we did many different things. We have now started learning about Egypt! We learned so many facts about Ancient Egypt and Modern Day Egypt. We learned about this beetle called the scarab beetle. One was placed over the heart of a mummy! We also made a sculpture of a beetle out of soap. On one side of the beetle it looks like a regular beetle and on the other side it has a personal logo that was about you! We all had a wonderful time learning about Egypt.
