April Showers

Today we spent the last part of the afternoon creating art inspired by Jae Soo Liu's wordless book Yellow Umbrella.  It comes with its own sound track.  Here is a preview of the process:

Before we started we listened to a crayon inspired song Crayola Doesn't Make a Colour for Your Eyes by Kristin Andreassen.  Below is her music video.

The Very Mysterious package...

We were thrilled last Monday to receive a package from our friends in England.  We made some guesses about what might be the envelope before opening it up.

It included a letter for each student, a book about their down, a teddy bear from the National Park their town borders...  

and Mint Cake, the official candy of Mount Everest climbers made right in their town. 

 

We all tried some and it was great!  Thank you so much to Ms. Morris' class!!!

 To finish up our unit on 2D and 3D shapes, we spent part of an afternoon creating 3D shapes by making them out of marshmallows and toothpicks, pipe cleaners, plasticine and by drawing them.

 

We started exploring the Canadian Food Guide and will be exploring healthy eating for the next few weeks.
