1st Graders at P.S. 43 tell elephant stories

Students participated in a 1 week long Li’l Stories Lab, where they collaborated, created, captured, and shared stories. They had a lot of fun researching elephants and creating elephant stories incorporating the facts they had gathered from their research. Students studied elephants, learned new vocabulary, and practiced critical thinking, communication and collaborating with friends. Here are students’ elephant stories from March of 2018:
