If you haven’t read the book, How to Make an Apple Pie and See the World by Marjorie Priceman, you definitely should! Our students began the week with a reading of this fun picture book. They then grabbed (drew) their passports and packed (made) their suitcases before heading out on their journey around the world!
This week, students explored England! They learned English slang and participated in high tea activities (trying English foods, like English muffins with jam and mango butter, lilikoi butter sandwiches, and biscuits). They used Google Earth to take a virtual trip to England and explore the city of London. They also explored Birmingham and tried Shepherd’s Pie. Hawaii B. said, “The biscuits (crackers) were my favorite food. We also looked at pictures of the Buckingham Palace.” In addition to discovering England, students worked together to complete marshmallow and clothespin, binder clip, and popsicle stick challenges. They also made class maps out of construction paper.
