We are finishing reading Charlotte's Web today. It is a really great book. We each had to present an oral report about a character we would want to be from the story. Here are our barn pictures.


Our plants are doing well. Some of them are getting taller and growing leaves. We continued to learn about multiple parts of the plants. For our design process, we researched and created a plant of our choice.










We were working with Dimitry to do our art project of La Terre. It took us three days to create the mosaic.









We made art of root vegetables that you can eat! They are different colours.




For math we have been learning about geometric shapes. We are making different geometric solids too. We worked a lot on problem solving and picking the right number operation.

For our study of Vikings, we learned that they made bread. We learned about their cooking utensils and how they make food. The women used to do all the cooking. They were able to make things with iron. They have two different types of boats, one for war and another for trading goods.

In French, we are starting to learn about aquatic animals. We have to practice a poem to present to the class. We made posters about the different sounds letters make in French words. (ai, on, ou, en, etc.)

In music we finished our recorder karate program. We are using Garage Band on the ipads to make a little song.

In gym we have been racing for track and field. We have also been playing soccer and dodgeball.
