This week our classroom was filled with art! We got to do a technique in painting called "marbling"! It was so cool, we used acrylic paint, saran wrap and our notebook covers. We used 3 or 4 colours and we had to squirt some all over the place on our covers and then we put saran wrap on top and squished it all with our hands. Then we carefully took the plastic wrap off to reveal a masterpiece!
Another cover we worked on this week was our math book covers. We used water colour paints to decorate them. We got a white crayon and drew things on the paper and then we sprayed it with a little water and then we got some paint and then painted it with water colour and waited for it to dry. They also look pretty cool!
We also worked on finishing our social book covers. We used to tempera paint to mix colours. We chose two complimentary colours from the colour wheel and mixed them together. We also coloured and drew inside lightbulbs that will go over our heads. We drew things that were important to us or something that we wanted to learn more about.
This week was picture day on Thursday. We all came to school looking our best, quite a dashing group we all are!
Usually at the end of every week we have the opportunity to earn free choice. This week we did not have free choice. Unfortunately we had a difficult time as a group making respectful and responsible choices this week. We had to have a few class meetings to talk about what respect means to us, what it looks like and what it feels like. Hopefully we will have free choice next week!
In writing this week we got to do some free writing as well as some creative writing using a picture prompt from National Geographic's photo of the day. This was the picture we wrote about, ask me what I wrote about!
We went to the learning commons this week to get new books and visit with Ms. Luzzi. She says to remember to keep them safe in our new plastic book bags and take care of them at home. We will exchange the books in 2 weeks.
Most of us are all caught up on our work, however we got so many new friends this week there are a few that will continue to work on catching up. We got 9 new friends in our classroom this week! What a wild time it has been to get to know everyone. We played a "get to know you" game called "Remember Me?" Miss Kolb brought a blanket from home, a big thick, cozy one you couldn't see through. Each class sat on either side of the blanket and we had to quietly choose who was going to sit in front of the blanket then Miss Kolb and Miss Klem counted to three and dropped the blanket. The first person to say the other persons name won a point. Room 7 won both times, but it was a close game both times!
Because of the changing weather we got to stay in for a recess and two lunches! We watched a movie with Ms. Melba called Bolt! We also started Aladdin today.
There is no school tomorrow (booooo hooo/ wooo hooooo!).

Until next week,
Love,
Room 7 & 8
