Observing

This morning we started by working with Ms. Douglas. Today was our last day of re-telling The Mitten. Today we worked in groups of 4 and got to use instruments to help us act out the story. When we were in our groups we had to decide who would be the narrator and who would be the actors and the sound effect creators. Some of us chose to split up all the jobs and some of us decided to share the jobs. When we had finished practicing each group had a chance to perform for the class.



After that we started our Fresh Air Friday work for the day. Today we worked on sketching the aspen trees. We focused on looking for the real details of the bark and the branches so that our trees looked realistic and were an accurate sketch of tree we chose to sketch. Being able to noticed details and represent them in a drawing or diagram is an important skills for artists and for scientists.


At the end of the day we got together with our Mathlympics country teams to tally up our medals for the week. We recorded our medal totals on our graphs. Then, we came together as a whole class and totaled up all our medals. So far our class has earned 36 bronze medals, 31 silver medals, and 21 gold medals!
