In the meantime we continued working hard. In Math, we continued with our multiplications and today we incorporated it with art once more after our math quiz. We created beautiful multiplication flowers that not only helped us practice our facts one more time but also helped us learn a few art skills (i.e. folding paper in such a way as to be able to cut a flower with six petals, changing a rectangle to a square, and working with patterns.) Here's what the classroom looked like during recess and here's the finished product.

In Music we became composers this week. We not only learned real well how to play two different versions of Hot Cross Buns, but we also learned how to write our very own version. Through doing this we learned about beat, rhythm, and sound. We also learned about repeated patterns and what makes a song nice to listen to. We even sampled a little bit of Mozart to help inspire us. Here's a good link for many of his masterpieces.

In French we used an online tool to learn the basics about verbs. We also played a game where we had to find the verb among many other words. Finally, we worked in small teams to identify and sort a large selection of words into nouns (common and proper), adjectives and verbs. As we continue to dive into using all these different types of words in our sentences, we are also working on our conjugations and on building our vocabulary.

We also continued to work on Zero Heroes and have now sent home our first mission. Please help us complete these missions. The teams also created drawings of the things that bring them joy other than objects or products you can buy. Here's a sampling of the things that bring us joys.
