Imagination Island

Hello families! Division 8 students have sketched their very own islands, including at least 4 landforms we have been learning about, and will be creating a model of their islands on a paper plate next week!
I will provide the materials above (paper plates, plasticine, pipe-cleaners, toothpicks, card board, construction paper, tissue paper…) but students are welcome to bring their own art or craft supplies that are available to them!
Feel free to bring figurines to inhabit their island as well.
Any questions, please ask!
Thank you for your continued support, Ms. Stephanie Watt
