In science we have been very busy measuring our trees. We are seeing how many of “us” would measure the height of the tree. We marked on a piece of paper how tall our tree is and then we measured how tall we are and found out how many “me’s” fit in the tree using multiplication or addition. Then we estimated how tall the tree is by knowing how tall we are in centimeters. There are numbers all over the place! Click on the play buttons below to hear about how we figured out the height of our trees.
In Social Studies Workshop, we are starting to make designs for our tunics. We brought our iPads to class and used a website that let us bead different colors of our wampum. We liked using the technology in SSW and put the design we created on our iPads onto a piece of a paper. We’re not sure if we’re going to put this design onto our tunics or if we are going to do something else.
In art we are painting pots we made out of clay. We are making large coil pots and we glazed them last week. We will be able to take them home after the winter break. We used red clay to make the pots. We like making things with our hands and getting messy!
Today we performed Native American dances and songs at the Winter Assembly. It was really fun.
Happy holidays! Have a great vacation!
