The Museum of Fine Arts

Today we viewed Pre-Columbian functional art. Each piece of art was created before Christopher Columbus came to the Americas. These works of art each served a purpose.

As we created our own vessels out of clay, I enjoyed observing you all in action! I was so very impressed with your vessel details...the legs, the heads and the handles. I loved Dylan's long necked vessel...so creative!

Please share some interesting facts that you learned from Ms. Claudia and your feelings about the day!

The Thing About Friendship!

We are now reading about Georgie, Russ and Andy coming together as a group of friends.

What do you think you need to know about friendship and people in general to make a group of three friends really work? Think deeply about this question and explain your ideas.

New Year's Resolutions

I have not really thought about what I am going to work on specifically for 2013. Please take a few minutes and think about an area in your life that you would like to improve, something you would like to learn or whatever comes to mind!

Independent Reading is the spice of life!

I could talk on and on about the books I am reading, the books I have read and the books I want to read in the future!

Let the conversation begin!

Argentina and China

Yesterday we discovered a wonderful database called Culture Grams!

Please think of some interesting questions about each country that you could research on this database or another source! Be thoughtful and please don't repeat a questions that someone else has typed!
