February is Black History Month. In CASTLES students read many books about famous african americans. They then chose one and wrote an amazing report. They are all hung outside of CASTLES for the month of February. If you get a chance stop by and read them. I have photographed the wonderful work and posted it below. -A couple of students did not get to participate in this activity.-  media type="custom" key="7746599" For Christmas in CASTLES, we wrote and illustrated a book titled "The Twelve days of CASTLES!" It is a remake of "The Twelve Days of Christmas." We began the unit by reading different versions of the classic song "The Twelve Days of Christmas." Then we asked the students what we should name our book. They had many suggestions, but voted on "The twelve days of Christmas." The students then used a computer program (Tux Paint) to illustrate their page. Check out the CASTLES book below. media type="custom" key="7816021"media type="custom" key="7816139"

For Veterans Day our students made this flag by hand painting two large sheets of paper, then writing numbers on strips of paper, either by 1's, 2's, 5's or 10's. We used the paper for the stripes. Then we took pictures of the students and put them on stars. The best part happened after the beautiful mural was hung, we took a picture and created post cards to send to Veterans. If you know a Veteran please share this beautiful picture with them as our way of saying thank you.

The students in CASTLES are thankful for a lot!
