Ms. Heatherly's Class

We enjoyed our study of The Black Snowman. It helped us to realize how important each and everyone of us are to each other. We first wrote an acrostic with the word BROTHER to describe Jacob.

This is Cyndel's acrostic

This is Erika's acrostic.

Next each student designed a Magic Kente. (We did them on black paper for our display in the hallway. For the project, we had to redo them on white paper so that they would show up.)

This is Hunter's Magic Kente.

This is Maggie's Magic Kente.

Finally we wrote a story about what happen to the magic kente.

This is Andrea's ending.
