Hi parents,
We had a very artsy day today. In the morning, the students did some drafts for their Art Card paintings. We're going to be painting winter landscapes, and then adding silhouettes illuminated by a full moon. They're going to look really nice. The process of painting a winter landscape is a little tricky though, so we did a few practice attempts this morning to figure out some of the tricks. Here are a few examples of the draft paintings:
As you can see, they're pretty nice already - I'm sure adding the silhouettes will make them even better!
In math, we did more work around subtraction with borrowing. I cannot express how relieved I am with how quickly the students are catching on, because this concept is seriously brutal to teach. I think the golden beads have been a life-saver - they're great for helping the students visualize the processes.
We learned more about Diwali, and also about life in India, by reading an interesting book together as a class.
In the afternoon, we had Music and Gym, and read a bit more of Wish Tree.
Have a nice night!
Zac
