First Week of School!

This week we went for a long walk on the tracks.  On our walk we saw a bunch of colorful flowers.  Each student in the class got to have their picture taken during the walk.  We also saw lots of crickets and other bugs.  Our walk on the tracks was fun!

We created colorful flowers using one line.  Some of us mixed colors to make new colors.  It was challenging to make only one line.  We used two different kinds of paints; water color, and tempera paint.  We lifted up our brush to make a thin line, and we pressed down on our brush to make a thick line.  Our paintings looked really beautiful when we were done.

We spent a lot of time getting organized this week.  We sorted through our supplies, we got our notebooks, we learned the rules, and we took home a lot of notes.  Now that we are organized we can have more time to do our schoolwork.

Some other things that people in the class were excited about:

- Grade threes were excited about getting new textbooks
- Playing dodge ball.
- Having gym time!
- Going on future field trips.
- Grade fours are at a new playground.
- Having two new teachers.
