Who says, “Giraffes Can’t Dance” …
We read the above-named book, by Giles Andreae and had a discussion on how we can all do things to the sound of our own music. Students then followed a directed drawing lesson creating their own unique ‘Geralds’ on yellow construction paper. They decorated their blue background paper, cut out, and mounted their giraffes, adding a string tail. These are on the bulletin board in our hallway.
Pink Shirt Day
We had great discussions on differences, enjoyed this story, and made pink t-shirts with excellent sayings on them. They have been hanging in our windows.
