Snow
 In this project using our digital camera, first graders along with our gifted and talented teacher, Mrs. Neale, make a book all about snow!
 

     Snowflakes Have Six Points is the name of a book written by Erin, Leah, Elijah, Katherine, Derek, and Sarah from Mrs. Cmaylo’s first grade class.

  The students worked on the book from the brainstorming stage right up to putting the book together.  During the course of the project, the authors became scientists, analysts and poets.  Despite the unpredictable snow season, the students photographed some great scenes to demonstrate their ideas about snow.  
 
 

This is a picture of our book.
