We are currently working on a writing project about living or being stuck in a "snow" globe. I write "snow" because you have to be open-minded when dealing with a class of creative kids! (Does it have to be a snow globe? What about, space? ocean?) My winter writing activity is taking a turn...
Puffy Projects have been shared and reports have been read! We learned many interesting facts about a variety of ocean creatures.
