Artist in Residence

Welcome everyone!

This has been a short week of learning, but it has been very busy!

First of all, we continued making our masks with Mrs F. This week, we did paper mache. To do paper mache, you take strips of newspaper and dip it in a paste mixture. Then, you take your two fingers and wipe off the extra paste. Finally, you put the strip of newspaper on your mask. The entire mask must be covered with newspaper. Today we are going to paint our masks! Stay tuned to see our final products.

Second, we worked on a Reader's Theatre performance this week! When doing Reader's Theatre, we read a script and act out the lines with actions, expression and a loud voice. Today we are going to present our plays to our class. In a few weeks, we will work on writing scripts, and using the animal masks as props.

Lastly, other things we did this week include researching the community in Columbia where the bridge collapsed 12 years ago, researching different types of bridges, and reading books such as "This is How we Do It" and "Ada Twist Scientist."

See you at Parent-Teacher interviews! Remember to return your CPO field trip forms.

Have a great long weekend!
