Hello Everyone!
Our week was fabulous and fun!
First, we have been learning about quality of life. Quality of life explains a person's feelings of health, safety, security, comfort and happiness. We read a book about a boy and his father who lived in an airport. The book was called, "Fly Away Home." Here is a video of the book. We discussed how their quality of life was good because they had food, water, family, friends and shelter. But, their quality of life could have been better if they had a home and beds to sleep in. We are now talking about the quality of life in different places around the world.
Next, we continued to work on our self portraits. First, we practiced rough drafts in our visual journals. Then, we drew good copies on white paper. After, we outlined our pictures using Sharpies. Finally, we painted using water colours! Stay tuned to see our final products!
Lastly, we watched our classmate's presentation about Peru! Here are some facts we have learned.
- "They make mats and clothing from llama and alpaca fur!" -D
- "They eat guinea pigs!!!!" - G
- "In the country, they trade items at a market." -A
- "Peru is called the potato country because they have so many potatoes!' - T
- "Some people live on the farms and some live in the city." -O
- "Some Peruvians live in the mountains." -D
We hope that you have an excellent weekend!
Love Room 13
