Mrs. Dropkin's Third Grade Class

Mrs. Dropkin's class is studying Japan and Japanese culture.
We have read The Colors of Japan by Holly Littlefield and illustrated by Helen Byers.
Our class divided into the "color" groups and researched different topics.

We will published our final project on the Class web page when we have completed our research.
