Thank you to Mme Mélanie for lending us the book, the language was perfect for our little learners of French and I will have to look into more books by that author!
So this week, we are going to make two different kids of dolls, paper dolls and clay dolls. We'll start with paper dolls. We'll also take a look at their rich history. Learning about the history of paper dolls will be a great way to link to our first Unit of Inquiry, 'What was it like when you were young'. I'll be asking the students to ask you as well as their grandparents if paper dolls were part of your childhood and we'll graph the results. How popular were they?!
Later on in the week, we'll make clay dolls. If it wasn't winter, we would go dig up some dirt and make our own clay using the super cool water extraction method I recently learned about but we live in Canada...perhaps a fun activity for the spring!
Stay tuned for pictures of our paper dolls!
