My Best Christmas Ever...

My best Christmas ever is a paper each student wrote about their favorite Christmas. Each student was asked to brainstorm about their past Christmases and pick their favorite! They then wrote about that Christmas. These papers can also be seen in the elementary hallway.

The Ultimate Shoe Collection

This project was done in relation to reading Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing. In the book Fudge and Peter had to go shoe shopping. Fudge did not want the shoes his mother wanted him to have. In order to purchase any shoes Peter and his mother tricked him into believing he was getting a different pair of shoes. After reading this chapter the students were given the freedom to design their own pair of shoes! Students had to use powerpoint drawing tools to create their shoes. Each student also had to write a description of their shoe and its main features. This project has been posted in Issuu, in order to see a larger image click on the book.
