Our Seashell Display

After receiving a seashell, students decided upon an oceanside area to research.  Combining fact with fiction, they wrote stories from the viewpoint of their seashell.  Research included information on the city, country, language, food, ocean, and various other facts about their shell's home on the sand.  Their stories are fabulous!  Our hallway display looks great!  Yes, we are dreaming of warmer days!
