This morning we continued studying American Symbols. We read, Bald Eagle by Lisa M. Herrington. This gave us basic facts about the bird and why it was chosen as a symbol for America by the founding fathers. Danny then colored a template to make a bald eagle. We traced Danny's hands on brown paper to use for the wings. Danny was having trouble cutting out the ends of his fingers rounded as they were coming out squared. We worked together on turning the paper and not closing the scissors all the way when he got to the ends. It was challenging for him and we celebrated working through the difficult task! We glued it to the paper for our booklet in progress and we sounded out how to write "I see" to complete the sentence, I see a bald eagle.
