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.

5th year math by Joey & Devin

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.
