Writers Workshop, Roots Café Field Trip & Spirit Week Fun (Session 5, Week 3)

Hello families and friends. 

This week we did a lot. 

This time we’re going to start with WW 

In WW We kept working on our writing projects and the carnival. 

As we complete challenges we will be able to earn points which we can use to buy prizes. And also I think I forgot to tell you WW each friday We have a spelling bee. Just in case you don't know what it's spelling bee is, it is when we sit in a circle then Ashley or Marie tell us words and we have to spell them. Whoever wins gets 25 points. Now let's move on to Quest. 

For Quest This week on Monday, we went on a field trip to a place called Roots Cafe.

We learned how they started their business. It was very interesting. You should go there someday. They gave us vegan hot chocolate. Then for the actual Quest we worked on a project to make a business plan to prepare for the Children’s Business Fair. Now let’s get into art!

For art we drew animals since this week was Spirit Week and on Tuesday we had dressed as your favorite animal. It inspired Marie to make a launch about animals and what makes us think animals are cute.  For the project we all got to talk about our favorite animals to draw and then we used our art materials to draw animals. 

Now let's go and talk about Spirit week.

For Spirit week on Monday we had black and white day then on Tuesday we had dressed as your favorite animal day and on Wednesday we had character day and on Thursday we had future career and finally on Friday we had pajama day!

For CIV we did weaving based on traditional Mayan crafts. And that's pretty much it! I don't really know what else to talk about so that's it!  Thanks for reading, and have a great day.
