We discussed a bit about sunflowers and Van Gogh after our science class yesterday. Here are some of Van Gogh's sunflower paintings…

We will talk about color…

Texture...

and Form...

FUN!!!

I know I have not posted recently but here is what we have been doing:

We read a Native American Story where we learned about how man owned fire…

We used our picture minds to create art that explains each major event of the story…Here is what we have…

My mother dropped by my classroom and she gave our class a pumpkin to celebrate fall…You can guess which season is her favorite!!!

Yesterday we went to our Barnes Community Garden for science time to draw 3 leaves and the sunflower. It was so nice outside that  these sunflowers decided to be very photogenic… Thanks to Waleed's help, he held up some of these sunflowers.

Good Afternoon Readers,

Below is a book trailer I created a few years ago to get kids excited for reading our October Read Aloud… Take a guess what the book is.

THE DROP ZONE

Good Morning Readers,
Yesterday we had Mrs. Little, a science expert, come in as part of our interactive science curriculum. We were asked to examine, understand and make choices for a parachute!!! Take a Look….

WE HAD SO MUCH FUN!!!

Spelling

Hello Readers,
Yesterday we read a story called Ruby the Copycat and it had some great lessons to learn in there. One overarching theme was being true to ourselves. 

We discussed characters and setting too…

After discussing this, we did a crossword puzzle with our weekly vocabulary words…

HAVE A GREAT TUESDAY READERS!!!

WELCOME TO OUR CLASSROOM

Good Morning Readers,
We have had a fun-filled first few days with each of us making a coat of arms, t-shirts that represent us, a guest reader, and making structural buildings out of blocks. Below are some photos from this week… More to come!!!

Below is a photo of who Mr. M is…With twinkly lights!!!

During Read Aloud one of my student were very creative and made a blue fire breathing Godzilla!!! 

We built structural buildings and each had to withstand Mr. M's strong lungs to survive...

Kaillie is working very hard to make the Beaver table groups building very tall. 

Emma is thinking really really hard about making their structure AWESOME!!!

What a brilliant idea to test it out with my lung…Ziyah's structure looks like it is not moving anywhere!!!

Kaillie still making the Beaver's structure tall…

Our Last Day of Summer

Hello Friends,
As our last day of summer is coming to a close we are preparing for our first day of school tomorrow by packing our lunches, hanging up our first day clothes, making sure we have our class supplies and wondering what is in store this year!!!

Please fasten your seatbelts and prepare for take off…

See you in class friends...
