Social Studies "REGIONS" of the U.S.

We started our S.S. project this week! First, they did a scavenger hunt to learn about and find the text-features in their "Regions" text-book. Each student was given a book to take to and from school each day. They were then put into 5 groups, one group for each of the 5 regions of the U.S. They then focused on finding information in the specific state text-book that they were given. Each student was given 2-3 text-books from the public libraries to keep with them and bring to school everyday. These are pictures of our "Regions" teams:

ART

We have been working hard on our art to put on display for the upcoming art auction. We created Bioglyphs, wrote our names in Hieroglyphics and wrote an Auto-bio poem about ourselves. We use crumpled up paper bags and oil pastels with an abstract form to create our art.
Here are some pictures of us in the work process:
