We Can See - 2013

Last year my class participated in the "We Can See" project. Along with classrooms and families from all over the world, we shared what we could see from our school yard. It was an awesome experience and my students loved creating their own books to share with the world and getting to see the world through the eyes of other children.

You can view the special blog that was created for this project here.

Today our class decided to create our own "We Can See" book. We walked all around our school yard and talked about all of the things that we might want to share with other students. The students decided what we should take pictures of. Then, once we were inside, the students wrote all of the text to go along with the photos.

We are really proud of how our book turned out.

We Can See: Winter Edition

Even though it is officially spring, here in Winnipeg, it still looks and feels a lot like winter. Last week when we were busy saying goodbye to winter we realized that we had never written an official We Can See book for winter.

We decided to use the photos that we took in the winter and write the words using interactive writing. That means that the students got to take turns printing the letters and words on the Smart Board.  Then we recorded our voices reading the pages.

Enjoy!



We are wondering if it looks like spring where you live?
