The phrase As-salamu alaykum is a greeting in Arabic that means "Peace be upon you." Salam Alaikum is also a picture book based on the popular song (with the same title) by Harris J.
It has been an unprecedented school year with difficult waters to navigate. The Ursa Major room family is thankful to have the support of friends and family during this challenging time.
We wish you peace.
Our class enjoys books. More importantly, we enjoy sharing our love of books with others. This might be because of our beloved friend, Mr. Lou (check out his post here). When COVID hit, we were no longer able to share reading time with the lower school students due to restrictions. Or so we thought!
For our PBL, the students decided to use web conferencing platforms, like Zoom and Google Meets, to continue sharing stories with others. Their love of reading extended to the greater community, too. They even had opportunities to share with local senior centers. They named their project, "Building Bridges with Books." Click on the image below to view their website. (Yes, the students created the website, too.)
