First grade students are making baby dolls that are the same length and weight as they were when they were born! This multidisciplinary project allows us to get to know and appreciate one another’s cultures, families and backgrounds. For math, it gives us a personal connection to the study of measurement and comparing measurements. In Social Studies, we will be using the baby’s wants and needs to study economics. We will be synthesizing all this information in our writing of baby books, which coincides with our non-fiction writing unit.
