We had a special focus on the artist Alma Thomas, while exploring art during Black History Month. Using both the book, and additional printed materials from TPT, my students gained a large understanding of what art can be for individuals. My students also loved learning about outer-space, pretending to be like Mae Jemison, flying in the toy rocket ship or building their own with the magna-tiles.

Students were thrilled to extend our learning about polar bears into silly read-alouds, a math lesson comparing sizes of polar bears to ourselves and an art project!

Another student was not feeling too well and the comfy chair provided her a relaxing place for her. The fidget and calming toys are really helping a student stay focus because of his ADHD.
