We did Song Dynasty Brush Painting. It was really fun, especially doing the bird. When we were reading Scholastic, there were two parts in the magazine and they were really interesting. One article was about a giant squid named Karkin and the other one was about a tsunami. And, the tsunami flooded Japan but brought things to the US. It snowed today!!!
I'm reading a book called Ribsy. It is about a dog and he went shopping with Henry, his mom and his dad. They Henry and his mom went to the shopping mall as Ribsy waited in the car. Then there was this dog that was barking and the dog's owner tried to get the dog to stop barking. They left and then Ribsy wanted to go with Henry, his mom, and his dad but he got lost in a rain storm. There were these five girls that found him, then they took him home. When the family got to their house, they had a one year old baby and his name was George. I don't know what happened next because I haven't go to that part yet.
Zoe - Scholastic News sounds interesting.
ReplyDeleteZara - Have a good snowy spring.
Halle - It is still snowing!
Aspen - The book you are reading sounds interesting.
Matthew - Ribsy sounds cool.
Charlie - I'm reading Ribsy books too.
Karthik - When you find out what happens next, let me know.
Tim, It's great to see you holding the brush in the proper form and making such beautiful brush strokes and paintings.
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me of one of our favorite books, "Liang and the Magic Paintbrush". I think you too may have a magic paintbrush since there are many more birds around the neighborhood. :)
Tim - we have read about Ribsy and Henry also. He's a crazy dog, isn't he?
ReplyDeleteI'm really enjoying seeing all the brush paintings your class is creating.
