WW Projects, Quest Planning, Clay Art, and Learning About the Maya (Session 5, Week 4)

Hello families and friends. 

This week we did a lot. 

This time, we’re going to start with WW 

In WW we worked on our projects, like designing a greeting card or writing a friendly letter.  Then on Friday we were able to spend our points and get prizes! And yeah, that's it for WW now let's move on to Quest

For Quest we had to think about and write about every little detail of our product  and if you were doing a service then you could make posters so people would know how much the prices or anything like that for example if you're doing a carnival like carnival games, then you could put the prices like when you go to a carnival if you want to have three throws then it costs like $5. Next up is art. 

For Art, we had so much fun. We worked with clay and made sculptures. Most people made gnomes and others made different kinds of stuff. Some people make little guys or fruit or monsters.  Two learners made a really big taco.  Next week we will paint them.  Now let’s go and talk about CIV. 

For CIV, we kept  learning about the Maya. We worked on a challenge about the Mayan civilization. One of the challenges on the paper was to write your name in Mayan language. Some people thought it was hard and some people thought it was pretty easy. We learned that the Mayan civilization wrote as one letter for two letters For example if your name had four letters in it, like my name Ella, then it would be two letters. That's it, have a great weekend, see you next week.
