Hi parents,
We had another great day today!
In the morning, we went to Gym with our buddies and played Dr. Dodgeball.
Then, after snack, Mr. Ripka taught an awesome lesson about traditional Ukrainian dance. We learned about the origins of the clothing worn by Ukrainian dancers from different parts of Ukraine. Mr. Ripka even brought in some authentic dance clothing and showed the class some moves!
The students read the book "The Mitten Tree" and worked on a special project with Ms. Rooke and Ms. Durnford.
After lunch, we read a book called "Plants We Wear", and then the students designed their own 'plant-based' outfits that would be worthy of a Parisian fashion show. They even gave each item of clothing a price, and added them all up to determine the cost of the outfit. It was an art, science, french, math mashup lesson (those are rare!) and the class did an awesome job with it.
Have a nice night,
Zac
