New PYP Unit!

We are finished with our unit- Sharing the Planet.

Now it's time for the next unit- Expressing Ourselves

An inquiry into the ways in which we discover and express ideas, feelings, nature, culture, beliefs and values; the ways in which we reflect on, extend and enjoy our creativity; our appreciation of the aesthetic.

The central idea, "People express themselves through poetry."
I love poetry. I love writing it, reading it, learning it, and teaching it!
