Mi primer libro de dichos/My First Book of Proverbs

The students in Mrs. Wilson's class created their own proverb and/or proverb illustrations. They interpreted the meaning behind sayings from Ben Franklin's Almanac and My First Book of Proverbs and created illustrations based on their interpretations. Their illustrations were then compiled into a class book of proverbs and sayings.
