First Grade PBL

This week students read the story "The New Friend." In the story a boy named Makoto moves from Japan to the United States. Throughout the week students got to learn about different things in Japan. We then looked at the similarities and differences between the two countries. After reviewing the information students were split into small groups where they worked together to display the information they learned. Each student got to pick which fact they wanted to write and share about as well as how they wanted their poster to look. We had fun learning about a new country and talking about our own!
