We had so much fun this week integrating creativity in to our learning! This quarter in science we have been learning about the different things that we can see in the sky. On Monday we learned about storms! After learning about lightning we each got to draw a picture of a lightning storm. We began outlining and coloring in our scenes with crayon...
Then began to paint the black sky over our pictures with watercolor.
They turned out great!
This week in language arts our focus was on how things get built. We learned about how ships, bridges, are other things are built. On Wednesday the kids divided in to 6 teams. Each team had to create a "blue print" for a bridge that they would build together. They had to give their bridge a name and label the materials that they would need to complete it.
On Thursday the teams got to work! Some of the many items they had to choose from were blocks, popsicle sticks, yarn, and glue.
The kids worked great in their teams and really collaborated. We had some awesome bridges in the end!
We did "how-to" writing this week, also known as procedural writing. The kids had to write a paper that teaches someone how to do something...
In the end, the kids got to present their writing. They all projected their writing on to the board and read their work out loud. We have some great teachers in this class!
Just a reminder, we have our all school Songfest Wednesday, June 3rd. Please be sure that your child has turned in their yellow t-shirt as well a 50 cents to help cover the cost of our performance accessories.
Mahalo,
Mrs. Kawai
