Cotton

As much as we tried, we could not cram all five Cs into the festivities on Monday. We were just too busy! Today we learned about cotton.
Students worked with a partner on an iPad researching cotton. They found interesting facts about cotton  including the origin of the word, how and where cotton plants grow and the history of the cotton gin.
Students then wrote the word "cotton" in large, block letters and glued cotton balls over the lines to form the word.
Once the word was clear, students copied their favorite cotton facts onto their paper.


Who would guess there is so much to learn about cotton, an important piece of Arizona's heritage?
