The 3rd Grade Students are grateful that you have taken the time to check out their hard work. We hope you enjoy viewing pictures of our trees from the Christmas Around the World Show.
So here's what we did to prepare . . .
Each group of students worked during STEM time to create the paper tree that they used to showcase their hard work. They also used this time to create several origami (the art of paper folding that originated in Japan) ornaments which emphasis both Art and Mathematic concepts. Next, the students had a blast working cooperatively to design and put the final decorations on their trees. Lastly, they completed a full research report by collecting data from online resources, taking notes and creating written work to use for a final video presentation. These trees are beautiful, informative and unique!
