Art Day!

Happy International Women's Day!

We started our morning with a Picture Prompt writing task. We used the following picture to write a small story. We used the frog lounging on the lily pad as our starting point. We heard some pretty fascinating stories from our bright minds who were willing to share!

 

Following gym, we celebrated International Women's Day by reading a story called, "Every Day is Malala Day" which discusses the young Malala Yousafzai who was shot in the head because she wanted to go to school. We also watched some short videos and talked about how in many countries women are still discriminated against and do not have the same rights as men.

After recess, Ms. Zimmermann's class went to music while Mr. Fisher's class read a story and did some work around that. We finished up before lunch with some math work that needed to be completed.

When we came back from lunch, we did some silent reading and partner reading. We decided that we hadn't done much art lately, so we started a project using warm and cool colours. They aren't quite finished yet, but we're convinced that they will turn out amazing.

There are no reminders for tonight.
