Show N' Tell

We have started our show n' tell presentations and so far they have been fantastic!

MONDAY:
Our first presentation was about spiders! We even got to see a live one, the student captured one and has been keeping it as a pet over the summer. Look at the awesome diorama the student made to showcase the different spiders they learned about! also a very nicely drawn scrapbook of items that interested the student while one vacation.


Next was a presentation on the volcanic rock found near Mt. Fuji while on vacation to Japan!
The type that was collected was Scoria. The student told us about a myth associated with this type of volcanic rock- If you touch it, it will give you energy and confidence! 



Our last presentation was a soft horse toy won at a carnival game - "Wheel of Luck", while on a trip to Gokyo (not Tokyo)! Gokyo is a small village in the Himalayas of Nepal. 

TUESDAY:
We had a "Nature Box", complete with a live snail! This presentation also involved a beloved stuff toy and a journal book of adventures had during the summer!

Our next one involved dinosaurs! An ongoing obsession with this student! Look at the artistic skill involved in this drawing!

The next was a lovely scrapbook of adventures in New York city! As well as a stop in Japan for some cultural exploration.

The last presentation was all about the Disney Resort in Shanghai! Shanghai Disneyland Resort features traditional and newly created themed lands!
WEDNESDAY:
We were treated into a close up look of  the Grand Canyon, Yellowstone, King's Canyon, Sequoia, Black Volcano, Walnut Canyon National Park! Look at the giant pine-cone that was brought back!

We had another "Nature Box" that was a little more local and had a collection of items from the back yard garden, accompanied by a scrapbook of  pictures from their summer holiday

Last we had a World Cup fan present their collection for the class! All the way from Russia came a football, a cap and a scarf!
