For the next few weeks our class will be working with Mrs. Newman’s class on a project called “Toys from the Past”. As part of this P.L.B. (Project Based Learning) our students will be looking at toys and commercials from different eras (from 1920’s to 1980’s). We will be asking each child to bring in a toy or two from the list we create together in class. We would also like older toys, so if any grandparents have toys from when they were children we would love to borrow them.  (We will send a note when we want students to bring in their toys).          We will be looking at old commercials (from the 1950’s, 60’s and 70’s) and learning some of the jingles (songs) used to sell the toys.  We will also be doing some interviews and writing assignments. The students are very excited to start this project and we can’t wait to share what we learn with you!!!
