Weekly News
This week we read a story that combined two cultures and how the cultures are represented through food. We also did two writing prompts with the story. The students are doing a great job with finding evidence to support their answers. We are also getting ready to test our robots. The students started adding modifications for the save. They are very creative!
Art
In art this week we did our clay owls. In class Ms.Davis showed us how to do it. First you take a ball of clay and flatten in out. Next, you use a tracer and cut it out into a oval shape. After that, you take your finger and at the top of the owl you push it down and then shape your ears.
Next you scratch the eyes and beak. Finally, you use your stick and make fun decorations on it! All of them looked so awesome and pretty when we done! Ms.Davis next has to put them in the kiln and “fire them” so we can paint them probably next week! Art was really exciting this week especially because we were doing clay! By: AshleyMusic
Music with Mrs.Crowe
I music class we played this that you had to tape a instrument on our back and we had to give the person some clues of what the instrument is like-It has strings on it,you have to blow into it,it has valves on it.Those were some examples.We also played bingo but instead it was about instruments.Guess what the reward was????It was a pencil without a design or not.I did not look that carefully:)

This week we worked on our vex kits,the vex kits are robotic things that can pick up certain type of blocks.which we are close to finishing them. They are very fun to build. We can be creative with them and build things to save an animal. (a plastic animal if you were wondering.) we also got to drive them and ours is a complete success.
