The Legend Of Hiawatha

This week in Room 6, I learned about the Legend Of Hiawatha in my reading group mars.  Lately, my group has been reading a chapter book called Indian In The Cupboard, each week we have been doing activities about the chapters. With my Legend Of Hiawatha activity I picked that story to make a DLO about it because it sounded very interesting and it was Hiawatha was known as a peacemaker he wanted it to be peaceful and he united all the tribes of the Iroquois nations to fight the enemy .  I am glad I choose this because I didn't have a clue who Hiawatha was and he was a Nobel man and he was very different from the rest, Hiawatha name also means "he makes rivers".

 Overall it was quite interesting to learn about because now I have some knowledge about Indian history and how they used to fight. 

I really enjoyed this activity, for me, it was enjoyable because it was nice to learn some information about all the Indian Tribes in the Iroquois nations. Also, I found it very challenging, I had to manage my time in completing this work and try my best to finish it to a high standard. Next time I will try and make my work more interesting and add some more detail to it.  For me, it was also hard to locate the tribes in the Iroquois Nations map and show where everything is on the map.

Dumbo

In Room 6 just before Literacy time and after snack we read a book called Dumbo, every day Miss Alice reads it to us as a class. The story is about people and animals in the circus, each character has like a back story.  For Dumbo our WALT is we are learning to make connections between the main ideas in the story, and the world.  Every week after Miss Alice reads us Dumbo we have activities and questions to do about the latest chapters of the story, so far Dumbo has been pretty interesting.

When I do the follow up questions about Dumbo it is hard because I recap the what happened in the story. With the activities I like being creative when I do them, like drawing my own images.
