Fun Days
This is about the trip I took with my dad. I did the candy, and all the candy wrappers, to show that I had lots of fun and I got spoiled on my trip. I showed the cat by the couch, and I showed claw marks, because my dad gets scared when he sees her doing that, and I wanted to show that we did a few scary things when we were on our trip. I also showed that we went to the lake by the campsite, and that we saw a bunny, and I chose the plants to show that we were outside a lot.
-Emerson, 3rd Grade
Students learn how objects can represent an idea (or serve as symbols), and they focus on the Renaissance as a period in which artists often used symbols to tell a story or convey a message. During discussion, students learn how objects can serve as symbols, conveying specific meanings that an artist wants to share. While making art, they use symbols to create an artwork with personally significant meaning. Students finish with colored pencils.

"Grade 3: Module 2B Connecting Literary and Informational Texts to Study Culture “Then and Now” This module is designed to help students use reading, writing, listening, speaking, and collaborative skills to build and share deep knowledge about a topic. Students begin with a class study on Japanese culture, in which they read Magic Tree House: Dragon of the Red Dawn, a book set in ancient Japan, and Exploring Countries: Japan, an informational text about modern Japan. Students form book clubs, reading a Magic Tree House book set in a country of their choice, as well as an informational book on the same to build expertise on a different country. They demonstrate their expertise by writing a research-based letter to Magic Tree House author Mary Pope Osborne. The letter informs her of customs and traditions that have endured in a culture from the past to modern time. " "Grade 4: Module 1a Oral Tradition, Symbolism, and Building Community Module 1 focuses on building community by making connections between visual imagery, oral accounts, poetry and written texts of various cultures with a focus on the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) culture. Students determine a central idea and demonstrate how gathering information from a variety of sources can help us understand a central idea more fully. Module 1 also reinforces reading fluency, close text analysis, explanatory paragraph writing, and presenting to peers. "
