Happy Thanksgiving!


Thank you to everyone who shared in our Thanksgiving celebration today! What a wonderful time to celebrate each other and be able to eat together. Aidah and I were talking and we are just so incredibly thankful to have such an amazing class of students and parents this year! Thank you for being so investing in your child’s learning and for being an integral part of our classroom family!  Have a wonderful four day weekend, and I will see our kiddos back at school on Monday, November 28th!

This week some of our learning included…
*continuing to delve into the student’s interest and passion of cats and dogs. (I am posting some separate blog posts documenting our learning in parts.) One projection of this project has gone in the way of observational drawings. We were looking at the drawings we did when we were watching the school cat as well as Sadie, Olivia’s cat from home. We noticed that some drawings were what we think cats look like (an image in our mind) and some drawings mimicked what we were seeing right in front of us. We thought we would get some expertise in this area, and visited A.J.’s dad’s high school art room again, where he taught us how to do contour drawings. We practiced with fruit and figures, pretending an ant is crawling around the outside of the object, and we will try and put this into good use when Jamin’s dog Kyan visits us on Monday! Thank you Mr. Matthew!
