This week we began our unit studying Texas. I have never lived in a state that has more pride than here. The grade level decided to each make a huge bulletin board for the students about Texas. They all have purchased materials up on their boards. I decided to take a student created board, we had a BLAST. The students learned so much as we created everything together.... yes, each piece. The only purchased materials are the letters.  Each student made a mosaic leaf and tissue paper bluebonnet. As table groups.... students made group projects. Armadillo, Texas Flag, Cactus (tissue paper and the best part.... tooth picks), and a mosaic sun.  We created a word wall with pictures and painted texture. Way FUN. I was told that we need to also include a snake and a cowboy hat.... so that will occur tomorrow. Enjoy :)
