On the Way to School

Good morning everyone!

Welcome to our blog! We had a very fun week!

First of all, we had a guest in our class. Her name is Mrs. F and she is an artist! She is working with us to make animal masks. We are making animals that live in Ukraine, Peru, Tunisia and India. We stared by using paper plates and shaping the plates to fit on our heads. Next, we used newspaper to shape the face of our animals. We are so excited to continue our work with Mrs. F next week!

Also, we watched a movie this week called, "On the Way to School." In this movie we followed four children and their journey to school. Their names are Carlito, Samuel, Jackson and Zahira. Here are some observations we had from the movie.
- "I saw that Jackson and his sister had to avoid elephants on their way to school." -K
- "Jackson had to dig a big hole in the sand to get water." -H
- "Samuel was in a wheelchair and his younger brothers had to push him all the way to school." -R
- "All of the kids had to walk for hours to get to school." -T
- "I am surprised Carlito was allowed to ride his horse to school!" -D
- "Samuel cried because his legs hurt and there wasn't a proper wheelchair for him." -G
- "Zahria carried a hen all the way because she wanted to sell it for money and food at the market." -N

We watched a video of how children in Colombia get to school. Next week, we are going to work as engineers and think of a solution to this problem.

 We hope you will comment on our blog. Have a great weekend!
