Art by Reed & Emilee
This week in art we are practicing painting pictures of salmon, so we can make a larger
water colored picture of a salmon next friday. Because we are observing salmon
hatch from eggs to fry in our library.
Next friday we are drawing salmon without a picture. To copy
we will have a picture to look at but we will not be coloring one in that was
printed from the internet like this week. We will be using a silver sharpie,
real watercolor paper & watercolor.

This week in math we did a racing fractions game &
played target practice. We also worked with number lines to find the answer to
fraction problems. During math we also
had a extra recess because we earned enough bear points by being mindful.
