Fireworks

Grade 2 is back to work!  This week we welcomed in the New Year with a series of fun activities.  To begin, we did a quick pair and share speaking exercise.  Next, we read a non-fiction book and learned about how the New Year is celebrated in different cultures around the world.  Then each member of the class wrote a short text about what they did to celebrate, focusing on the 5 Ws (Who, what, when, where, why).  Whether in India or Argentina or at home here in Switzerland, everyone had the opportunity to watch colorful fireworks launch in the night sky.  To accompany their text, we drew fireworks using oil pastels onto black paper.  The results were explosive!  Grade 2 also thought about the remaining school year and wrote “resolutions” to help them be best students in 2013.

 

Happy New Year,
