Important: Reports cards went home today .

Language Arts: 

               -  Today we worked on identifying the "Relevant Details" in a paragraph and wrote  our own  details by using a topic sentence.Give me a topic sentence and ask me to write down 3 relevant details  e.g there are three main steps to riding a bike .2- Today I am going to the park with my friends .3- Not talking for a whole day would be difficult for me.

- We also reviewed the multiple ways of starting a sentence . A few examples are to start with a "question, simile, onomatopoeia, thrill, and a prepositional verb .

- We wrote our spelling words in our personal dictionaries in alphabetical order.

Math:

*Keep practicing times tables at home *   

Art:

Our focus in art is to observe keenly an analyze an art work with different techniques. 

We have started a new  Art project  based on Jim Dine's Art techniques.

We learnt that  with the  "Value" of a color can create dramatic effect and imagery in art. We painted a landscape using "fore ground and  background" .Also, with the use of "Monochromatic " color scheme we have added a range of different shades of grey. 

It is work in progress.

Stay Tuned !!!
