Observing on the Nature Trail, Part 2

We've been working hard on our Night Letters project.  We used our observations to create letters from the subject that we observed.  Mrs. Lord and Mrs. Wertenberger were very impressed with our creativity! In the story, Lily's letters were written from the subject and addressed to Lily.  This was a fun way for us to think about point-of-view!

After completing our letters, we began work on the front of our postcards.  We talked about the medium of collage while reading another story so we used collage to create the picture on the front of our postcards.

Collaging and writing!

Working hard to transfer edits to a final draft

Then, today in computer lab, we typed our letters using Microsoft Word.  Tomorrow, we'll put it all together.  More to come!
