1. If someone wants to make Valentines, they must be 100% fully inclusive of all students in the class. Homemade Valentines (instead of store bought) are encouraged, but not required. List of students in Strawberry Creek.
2. No candy or sweets should be attached to (or in place of) Valentines. Things like pencils are acceptable.
Our Day:
This morning the students began the day with a still life drawing of machines and tools. We practiced the idea of focusing in on part of the object for a drawing study.
In math today we continued measuring with the metric system. Activities included finding personal references (cm = finger nail width etc.), measuring small items in millimeters, body parts in centimeters and large items in meters and centimeters. Our discussion today emphasized the connection to base-10 math, and how to convert cm to mm.
Strawberry students read to their Laurel buddies today. We have a service learning/fundraising project planned with our buddies that you may have heard about. The kids have decided to raise funds for the Marine Mammal Center. The teachers are in the process of determining dates for our fundraising efforts, and hope to announce that by the end of next week.
Our still life subjects!
