Sept. 10 News




Sept. 10th News by Angie and Hodman

This week we did patterning in math. We read a book called Pattern Fish. We made patterns with pattern blocks and our bodies. We listened to a song by Blue Man Group and listened to a pattern in the song. We looked at a video by Blue Man group on a DVD and Youtube. You can watch the youtube video at home. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jVWlUw6BfLw

We wrote about our class pets, Alpha and Beta. We wrote cooperative stories with a partner.

We went to the library. We read Blueberries For Sal and we tasted blueberries and we squished them to see what colour was inside (it was red, yellow-green, and purple).

In science we cut out paper flowers and folded the petals. When we put them in water the petals opened up because the water forced the petals to push up.

This week we made shakers out of cans and pasta (orzo or rice shaped pasta) for music. We made small art journals by sewing pages into a book with a cover that we covered with paint and sticky plastic.

We welcomed Mr. Deacon our new student teacher to our class this week.

In computers we learned about internet safety at http://media-awareness.ca/english/special_initiatives/games/privacy_playground/flash/start.html
