Weekly Update - Oct 11 - 14
Each week, I will be asking a couple friends to help me write the blog.
Land-Based Learning
This week, we learned about Sweet Grass. While in the garden, students had the opportunity to touch and smell sweet grass while completing a wonder map. The following day, we read stories about sweet grass and learned more about it.
"we have been smelling a lot of different plants and medicines and doing smudging every Tuesday" - H.C
Poetry
We started our unit on poetry this week, focusing on how poems look as well as how they sound.
"poems describe feelings, they can be a letter to someone" - I.G.
"we learned equal, less than, greater than" - H.C
"we got little sheets with bigger and smaller numbers and we had to identify if they were bigger, equal or less" - M.M.
Self- Portraits
Our portraits are coming along!
"this week we learned how to sketch our hair and our face shape" - H.C.
"we all improved from our first draft, at least one thing" - I.G.
We started our discussion and planning around our art cards.
"we are doing art card planning sheets, we planned what the background, landscape and animal we will be using" - M.M.
Buddies
"we met our buddies for the first time and we figured out all their names" - H.C.
"we read a story called "we don't eat classmates/'buddies'" - M.M.
