Room 14 did a water colour edition of their portraits.
They did a wonderful and creative job.

We had a lot of amazing performances at the 40th Anniversary of Colonel J Fred Scott School.  They opened the time capsule and we examined the photos and artifacts found within.  We had a delicious muffins for a special treat.  There were also commemorative bracelets, tattoos and pencils.

Room 12 did a fantastic job.  They followed the style of little known Modigliani to create these portraits.


The botany studies have been very hands on and we have used seeds, tubers, cuttings and bulbs to plant vegetables.  We have been busy last week hilling our potatoes.  





With the nice weather we spend more and more time outside.  It feels like summer is just around the corner.

It turns out room 14 has some avid skippers.

Artists are abound and all around...
One point perspective was another technique we used in our creative art class.

Connections all around us

The spring weather has brought out our best efforts in learning about plants and their needs.  We planted tubers, runners, and seeds that will grow into plants we love to eat.  Connections were made when we identified uses of plants and their structures and what function they served.                    









Working cooperatively in small groups for word work and word games also helped us feel connected to each other.









Poetry has been another focus in Room 12 and we have been writing haiku and experiencing nature.  Our connection to the land and the things we need to thrive here have been examined and we continue to work on creating connections in our learning.

 We are now working on pulleys.  We made our own pulleys.

This simple machine has no pulleys but rather wheels.

We learned about fractions in math and started to talk about decimals.


Let's talk about our celebration of learning.
We have been reading legends and made a diorama about it.  This was a real challenge for our class.  We used ComicLife to show our process making dioramas.  We used Word to make documents about our stories.  We have been working on our paragraph writing.

In gym we have been playing outdoor soccer games.
We have used Modigliani as an inspiration for our self portraits.  Here is a preview of a few of them.

Next week we are diving into decimals.  We had a great finish to our week at jump rope for heart.
