Leaf Man Project 2008

Suzanne Gaylord's First Grade
International School of Dusseldorf
Dusseldorf,  Germany

 

We just finished our unit:  Hallo Deutschland.  This unit was an inquiry into how culture affects the way we live.  Part of the inquiry was about living in Germany and learning to live in another culture.  We had questions like: How is Germany unique? and How can I be a good neighbor in Germany?

We decided that part of what makes Germany unique is the seasons and our local geography. 

 

We took a walk to the Rhine River, where we made observational drawings.  These drawings gave us ideas and tied into our reading, Leaf Man.  The students made their own pages for a class book, Leaf Man, Leaf Man.  Hope you enjoy our side of the world!
