Literacy Fair for Younger Students

Margaret BlackApril 6, 2015April 6, 2015Leave a comment

Over the past six weeks, each student in our class has read a minimum of three chapter books, and created several reading response projects based on what we read. On Thursday, we had an opportunity to share our projects with younger students. Miss Wigle's Grade 2/3 class and Mrs. Mihills' Grade 1/2 class came for a visit. They had an opportunity to view our plasticine figures, dioramas, posters, mobiles and PowerPoints, read some of our writings and try out the word searches and board games we made, based on the books we had read.

Here is what our Literacy Fair looked like:

We'd like to thank the Grade 1-3 students in Miss Wigle's and Mrs. Mihills' classes for coming to see our projects!

One-Point Perspective Art

In March, we learned to draw and paint pictures that show distance the way our eyes perceive it... that is, in "perspective."

These are the Success Criteria for this project:

We took our time and added a lot of detail. One of the challenges was creating paint colours that were not available on our paint palette (e.g. brown).

Here are some of us hard at work:

These are some of the finished products!

We think you'll agree that they turned out pretty well!
