Detective Work

Today we started detective work. We went around the room looking for fingerprints, footprints, and notes. We talked about what it takes to be a detective. We had fun being detectives.

Pointilism

Pointilism is a very fun and small art tequnique that involves very small dots. You can use a que tip to do it. If you use a tooth pick it will take a VERY long time to finish. Georges seurat used pointilism for his paintings. Pointilism is painting pictures using very small dots. Today 4th grade gifted had to use this tequnique to paint pictures. It took a long time but we eventualy finished.

we learnd a little chess and played some games we made paper sheilds about our selfs and started a new prodject called Weslandia. We will be creating our very own civilizations. We work with a partner to come up with our civilzation. We brainstorm names, and came up with different elements of our civlizations such as: language, shelter, crop, art, music, location, clothing, games, sports, and lots more. We got great ideas from a book that we read called "Weslandia" by Paul Fleischman.
