Fall Beauty
/We started our Fall & Photography unit this week. We kicked off the week with a nature walk around campus to enjoy the splendor of fall sights and sounds. We noticed squirrels frolciking and gorgeous leaves changing colors and crunching under our feet. We collected several natural materials to use for scientific explorations and artistic endeavours next week. We also started our fall art pieces called Starry Sky in Autumn which will involve using tempera paint, oil pastels, and watercolors. In writer’s workshop we wrote about our strengths, our favorite parts of school, and our individual learning goals. We also created a memory book page about our play production. In math we learned how to play Shut the Box and we watched this YouCube math video about how everyone can become good at math. During our whole class read aloud we started reading a new book called Upside Down Magic. We’ve been talking about different reading genres and specifically about the fantasy genre. We also started our poetry folders where we will be compiling class songs and poems. We learned a funny song called Eener Meener.
