Dioramas!

This student needs sky above and water
below for his diorama about the
Intrepid Museum
Today we began our dioramas in Social Studies!  Our dioramas will show our New York City landmarks that we've been researching and learning about in writing.  From the Statue of Liberty to Times Square, from Four Freedoms Park to Coney Island, we've been learning a lot about the city around us.  Now we get to show the city around us!

We began by planning our dioramas.  We're following this "How To" writing to complete the process.  Today, we planned the background of our dioramas and some of us even began to sketch and paint the background.  Over the next 2 weeks we'll be hard at work finishing our projects to share with our writing!
