The students used a lot of the art materials to analyze their readings of \"Icarus\" and the American class \"Gift of the Magi.\" They will continue to use the materials in the following units, as they create roadmaps of their personal values and where they came from. The black markers are especially appreciated by the students; they are always requesting the \"blacker markers.\" \r\nThe binders are pivotal in my classroom; students use them daily. As you may be able to see in the photos, we use the binders to store all their handouts and notes.
