Books, Pilgrims, and Indians

The books are finished! On Friday, Mrs. T. worked the the students to decoupage and collage their covers. When I walked into the library yesterday and saw all of the books drying on the tables, I was amazed at the creativity. They are awesome! I can't wait to look at each one in detail and choose some for the online book exhibition. One student said that she wished they could spend more time on the project. Sometimes, it felt rushed trying to get our goals accomplished in 30 to 50 minute segments. Another student thought it was "challenging." Another student asked if we could make another one for Christmas. Hmmmm.

The first and second graders made little books, too, about the First Thanksgiving. They will take these home to share with their parents and other relatives for the Thanksgiving holidays. Happy Thanksgiving!
