Art

   I’m having lots of fun in art the past two weeks.  We’re drawing castles! I’m making mine big and tall. It`s going to be great. Everybody’s castles are looking really good too.  Our art teacher Mr. Lane is fun… that`s what makes art so fun.  Mr. Lane is teaching us all about different parts of the castles.  Some of the castle parts are: arrow lope and a keep. There are all different types of castles in the world.

   Art is one of my favorite subjects.  I like to draw, a lot. Mr. Lane said I am ready to draw my final draft. It`s going to be bigger and better. There’s going to be more excitement and pop too. The most fun thing about drawing our castles is the different details that we’re putting on our castles.

Happy Constitution Day!

Constitution Day

September 17th

Music!

   This week in music was very fun. Ms. Reyes was very nice and does a good job at pretending to be a rapper and robot. We played a fun game and we had to say our name in a weird way. We were all laughing so much we could not speak. We had a lot of fun.

 

   I said my name like this: Makkkkeeennnzzzzzzzzzzzzie in a weird way. There were four other people in my group Kallista, Kate, Lelia and Marley. Some of them were afraid to do their name. Kallista said her name like an opera person. Lelia said her name like a baby. Kate said hers like a robot. Marley said hers like a rapper. It was so much fun. Thank you, Ms. Reyes!

Happy Labor Day!

You have the day off today, but today we celebrate American workers. On the first Monday in September, we honor workers who have built the world's strongest economy.

A New School Year 2012-2013!

Hello Everyone!

This blog was designed for my students last school year and the experience continues with a new team of learners! Students will be allowed to share/write about what they are doing during the week, whether it's what they read during independent reading, sharing an interesting science experiment, explaining a new game in gym or what they enjoyed about an assembly. I'd like this blog to be another step in their journey of being 21st century learners. I hope that readers come back often to find out what is going on in our school and our fourth grade community! We're going to have a great school year!

 

 

Three Weeks Until School Begins!

It's August! School begins in three weeks!

Eric Carle and my Brother

This week I visited my brother before he moved to teach in Canada! He has lived in Massachusetts for many years and it was fun to see him before he moved to another country! While I was in Amherst, Massachusetts, I visited the Eric Carle Museum. Do you know who that is? He wrote/created the book, The Very Hungry Caterpillar and illustrated the book, Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? among many others!

The museum showcased Eric Carle's art but also showcased artwork from famous author/illustrator Ezra Jack Keats. He wrote The Snowy Day.

Like any museum, you are not allowed to take pictures of the artwork in the galleries, so I took pictures of the museum. It was a fun place to visit!

The museum had an art studio for guests to make art like Eric Carle!
