Sharing Me Collages
We've spent the last two weeks reading Judy Moody by Megan McDonald. Judy is a third grader and funny, moody, surprising character. Her third grade teacher assigns the class a Me Collage. The collage is supposed to tell the class all about the person. So last week the students in our class made and shared their very own, fabulous Me Collages with our class. Each one was wonderful in its own way. You can check out all the collages on our photos website. Good job everyone!

Mark Twain puppet
Last month we studied the biography genre. We read a biography about Abraham Lincoln together. The students chose and researched a famous person by themselves. In class they took notes on index cards and then used the notes to create a short speech. Students created puppets at home and practiced their speeches. The speeches were then presented to the class the first week of March. Here are the audio files from those presentations.

In class we are reading a book called Indians of the Oaks by Milicent Lee. This books has two tales to tell. In the first tale a young white boy comes to live with the Kumeyaay, also known as the Diegueno, of Southern California. The second tales is the story of a young girl from the same tribe who learns a new kind of medicine when she falls ill and is cared for by a white doctor.
This is a fabulous book because as you read these tales you learn interesting facts about the traditional lifestyles of the Kumeyaay Indians.
What interesting facts have you learned about the Kumeyaay? Please share them in a comment.
