The students in 1st Grade studied various Winter Holidays in several different countries.  Each class completed an in depth look at Christmas in America as well as a Winter Holiday in a different country or state.  They were able to compare and contrast their new Winter Holiday with Christmas in America. 

At the completion of the research unit they came back to the Library to work on a technology component and made a Comic Life and a Voice Thread.  Below you will find the links for each class. 

We hope you enjoy our research projects, we sure enjoyed learning!  Thank you to our WONDERFUL Elementary Technology Facilitator, Ms. Dalrymple, for guiding us through these new pieces of technology!
