Dear lovely families,
This week:
*We made some fantastic art. In Asia, lots of countries celebrate Lunar New Year (Japan, China, South Korea, Malaysia and more).This year is the year of the rabbit so we made rabbit lanterns. We used black paper and pastels.
* On Wednesday we made German cookies. We got a postcard from Germany and it had the baking recipe on it. All of us got to come up and either add some stuff or mix up the ingredients. Then we put it in the fridge. Then Mrs. Marta rolled it out flat with the rolling pin and we used a star cookie cutter to make a cookie. Then Mrs. Marta cooked them at lunch time. In the afternoon, we decorated them with chocolate frosting and sprinkles. Then of course, we ate them. They were delicious. But then... something terrible happened... when we went outside someone came in our class and stole Mr. Marta's cookie! Now he is very sad 🙁. Mrs. Marta emailed the recipe home so you can try it at home if you like!
* In Science, we used Chatterpix on the iPads. We took a picture of something and then we made a mouth. We recorded our voices saying the properties of our object (softness, state of matter, smoothness, size, etc.). On Chatterpix it looks like the object is saying the things we recorded ourselves saying. You only have 30 seconds to say your whole thing! Mrs. Marta let us put 3 stickers and one frame on it.
* In gym we played: Angry Cats, Diamond Tag, Zombie Tag, and Octopus. We practiced shooting the basketball into the hoop. We also practiced our dance. We ALMOST know the whole thing now. We will perform it at the February assembly if we are ready (which we probably will be).
* In math we are still working on multiplication. This week we played "Knock it off" with 5X and 2X. You can figure out the answers by skip counting.
* In our book Wild Robot we just finished chapter 45. Roz and Brightbill went to the robot gravesite in chapter 45.
* In STEM Ms. Bell read us a story and then told us to make animals from the Chinese Zodiac out of Lego. If you didn't want to do Lego you could colour one of the animals.
* In music we finished making our pockets for "Canada in my Pocket".
* We got postcards from Germany and South Korea this week.
From,
Mrs. Marta's amazing, hard-working, beautiful, fantastic, sparkling, talented, unique, respectful, creative, and smart class
