ROXABOXEN At-Home PROJECT and In-Class STORY
Our class just finished reading 6 stories from our IMAGINATION UNIT. As a culminating project, the students would like to build their own imaginary town just like the one we read about in “Roxaboxen”.
For this project, our students will be recreating their own imaginary town. They can use sticks, rocks, little boxes, play dough, clay, little play toys, cotton balls, pipe cleaners, puzzles, small rocks, toothpicks, water bottle lids or any recyclable materials to use for their own “Roxaboxen” town. Their task is to complete their imaginary town using the suggested materials at home. At school, the students will write a descriptive story about their imaginary town. They will then present this project to the class and to the 2ndgrade classes. The at-home project is worth 50 points and the in-class writing portion is worth 50 points. Presentation will be on February 23rd.
If you have any questions please feel free to call me. The project is due February 21th. Have fun and enjoy making your own imaginary town!
