Beyond the Classroom: building shared knowledge

This week was all about pooling our shared knowledge and gaining shared experiences having to do with animals and how they adapt to the cold. I reread the project planning guide daily to insure I was doing what I was supposed to do in phase I...I guess I'm still a bit hung up on making sure we do it right. During the week we seemed pulled at times in two directions, those being experimenting with ice and thinking about animals. I think they complimented each other, at least I hope so.

Here are just a few images of the shadow puppets we made on Friday. Mrs. Lee made a great bear and bird shadow puppet which children started with but then quickly moved on to making there own shado puppets. They did a fantastic job. I think this will continue throughout the next week or longer if the interest level remains.
