Sailing into Summer ... soon.

Open House

The students have been working hard in room 1.  :)

Country Report

The class worked together on a Sample Country Report.  We chose the United States of America.  

We used the Ducksters Website (http://www.ducksters.com/geography/) to find out most of the information.  

It did not list the President, so that might require some extra searching, if you don't already know who it is.

To find out the distance from your city to the country's capital, we used maps.google.com.

For the flag, we found an image online and printed it out.

I hope you enjoy researching a country of your choice.

Vasona YSI Field Trip

We had a great field trip at Vasona-YSI!  The students had a hands-on introduction to physics.  We were able to determine how Sound travels differently on/in different states of matter.  We also learned about Motion and the force of flight by creating a paper airplane and a paper rocket.  We also walked around Vasona Park to complete a Visual Scavenger Hunt!  

Value!

Monday we had our fifth Art Vistas lesson!  

This lesson focused on VALUE.  Value is the use of black and white.  The value of a color (hue) depends on how much black or white has been added to it (the relative “lightness” or “darkness” of a color).  Some of the other words we used to describe value are: shade (color + black) and tint (color + white).
