Art by Kohl and Isa
This week in art we have been working on Poems about the Elwha river. In this project we create lines of poetry starting with each letter in the word “Elwha” or “Elwha River”. At the end of the poem, all Soleil students wrote “Now the salmon run free”. We posted these projects in the hallway above the lockers with blue paper that represents water. These art projects turned out beautifully.

Fifth Year Math by Nicolai and Jacob
In 5th grade math, we are studying Volume using our “project” Brad’s Baseball Boxing Dimensions. This month, we are also weighing carrots (who died, see funeral video*.) every day to find patterns for the calendar.

Fourth Year Math by Colin and Austin G
In 4th grade math we have been playing a lot of Math games. These games have taught us about multiplication and division. In addition we have also been making posters to help us understand composites, prime numbers, and factors. This year we are also are learning about fact families which have 4 division and 4 multiplication problems. We’ve also been working on methods and models of multiplication which have open number lines, tile arrays, fast arrays, and stop ratio tables, and area models. I am excited to learn more math this year!

Super Fluffy Pink Unicorns Writing by Bam and Zane
In Unicorns writing we are writing about our books, such as, fantastic Mr. Fox and our read-aloud book Tiger rising. We are writing about Nonfiction and fiction stories. We are also taking small moments from our lives and putting them into our stories that we are making and in our notebooks. We have been writing about Character traits for our introductions. We are writing the first draft and most of us are in the middle and some of us are already finished. Right now we are making up the obstacles, desires and hopes of the characters.

HIMPs Reading by Emma and Lowata
In H.I.M.P.s reading, we are in book clubs.There are 5 different groups in reading, all groups are reading realistic fiction books. The groups are Holes, Hatchet, El Deafo, Wonder and One for the Murphey’s. All the groups meet with M four times during our reading. We are also learning different reading strategies, and how to expand on our thinking, and how to look at the story from other points of view.

Intermediate Band by Amelia and Naomi
Band is super fun and Mr. Edwards is a good band instructor. He really makes sure we understand things like the dynamics. Dynamics could be soft (piano) medium loud (mezzo forte) and loud (forte). Band is a real blast and we encourage everyone to give it a try.

The photographs really helped to bring your stories to life.

I would like to complement Emma and Lowata on the H.I.M.P.S reading because they put in a lot of details. Another reason I like it is that they put the scenes in order.
i like how Austin S. and Alec told us what we learned in science.
