Our New York Connection

As part of the Global Read Aloud, our class read Marty McGuire, along with Mr. Water's first grade class in New York. In the book, Marty is reluctantly chosen to play the part of the princess in the class play, The Frog Prince. Mr. Waters had a great idea that we could make tissue paper frogs and use them to get to know more about each other. To do this, our students took pictures of themselves and their frogs in different places near our homes and then shared them with the other class.  Our class received a package a couple of weeks ago with many pictures of the New York kids and their frogs standing in places like the Statue of Liberty and Central Park! Our class decided to create a slideshow of our photos to share them. The final product is below. We hope that Mr. Water's class likes it and will leave us a comment!
