Today in 5th grade gifted we made Picasso heads online and on paper. You can pick the head,eyes,eyebrows, and as many features as you want to make the face look like a Picasso. Picassso painted mostly in an abstract style, and the heads that we worked on today were examples of cubism. We made two different pictures of heads (for example, yourself and an animal or cartoon character) and then we cut them up and rearranged them on a new head in Picasso cubism style.
Check out some of these links to our online picasso heads:

We are also learning about the brain. Did you know that the brain can send a message in 1/5000 of a second? We made models of nerve cells out of pipe cleaners. They were made up of cell body, axon, dendrites, a protective myelin sheath, and a synapse.
On top of it all, Caroline's Dad came in and brought "Chessica" his electronic chess board to help us with our chess strategies.
Great day overall!
Luke, Jess, and Caroline
