To our marvelous parents,
This week we:
* Made chalk art. First we made a city skyline on paper. Then we cut it out and taped it to our paper. Above the skyline we used chalk to make it look like a sunset. To blend the colours we used our finger.
* This week we had 2 birthdays. O.S. and S.A. In S.A.'s gym she chose Dungeon Ball and O.S. chose stores.
* For writing Mrs. Marta made a bad story. (Well it wasn't bad it was just boring!). We helped her fix it by adding more details and used descriptive words. Mrs. Marta calls that "jazzing it up".
* We also made Inukshuk art. First we drew an Inukshuk. Then we used bright colours to make the background. It was in the style of Ted Harrison.
* In Social Studies we are learning about Inuit culture. This week we learned some Inuktitut. Here is the Inuktitut alphabet song:
We also read some stories about Inuit culture. Some animals in the Arctic are: caribou, arctic char, arctic hare, beluga whale and the polar bear.
* Today in gym we are going to practice throwing.
* In math Mrs. Marta called us up to the table to do partitioning. She was pretty impressed with how good we are getting!
* In outdoor ed. we worked on our bird booklet.
* In art today we made Valentine's bags for Monday. They look like robots in honour of "The Wild Robot". If we are bringing Valentines we need to bring them on Monday.
From,
The amazing kids in Mrs. Marta's class.
Beautiful artwork, I especially enjoy the bright colors in the inukshuk art. Also, great descriptive story. Well done class!
