Flag PBL Activity

Last week, you were to create a new flag to represent our school. We read a book containing pictures of different flags in the history of the USA, and we watched a Discovery Education Video on the American flag. Your flag was supposed to contain certain colors and symbols to represent our school. Please tell me about creating your flag and why you included certain things (colors and shapes) on it.

Word Sorts

We started working with word sorts (Words Their Way) this week. We looked at how words were the same and different. Tell me what you thought about doing word sorts. What part of word sorts did you like the best?
