Distance Learning in April

Hello, everyone. I hope you are all doing well and that you have adjusted (as well as you can) to distance learning. I want to share some of the things my students have been doing this month. 

We have continued doing art masters; I think art is a good way to help the kids (and parents) relax and release some of the stress they are feeling. These are the Matisse cut paper projects that my students made.  

We have been learning about famous Americans. We made a flipboard for each famous American and then the kids put all of their flipboard together to make a flipboard book.  The students watched a video about the famous American we were studying and then they looked for pictures related to that person. Next, they glued the pictures to their flipboard. Finally, they wrote details about the famous American under each picture. Here is a flipboard about Cesar Chavez. 

This is what the student wrote under each picture.

We have also been writing persuasive paragraphs. The students were asked to write a paragraph about what class pet we should get. Here are some samples of student work.
