Third graders are busy designing Greek pots! Last week, we began our Art and Architecture Unit by learning all about Greek architecture; this week, we learned about Greek pottery. Students learned the difference in red figure and black figure (Ask them!), and we created our own pottery designs. Students also started their new Exploratory Course, in which they will be working to creating individualized projects related to their interests for our upcoming Greek Festival, which will be held in March.
Fourth graders are learning all about the knights of the Middle Ages in our "Those Who Fight" rotation. They have all been formally dubbed as "knights" and "dames," so hold them to their code of honor by expecting chivalrous manners! :) Today, my Thursday students were the first to pilot our NEW laptop computer lab!!!! I was thrilled, as were the kids! This is a four-year long dream come true for our school, and we can't wait to put it to good use. We viewed several informative webpages about knights and the Middle Ages, including one created
by a fourth and fifth grade gifted students like us! We began making plans to write an ABC book about knights and/or create a webpage. Last but not least, students finished their independent projects for "Those Who Work" and "Those Who Pray," and they attempted (some successfully) to solve Einstein's Riddle in the Problem Solving Mini Course w/ Mrs. Belew.
