Talking About Art Thursday

Today's trip to the MCA was fantastic.  We were given a tour that  led us to specific works.  We asked questions. We pondered. We wondered. Then, we created.   The second half of our trip led us the the Creation Lab. Students were provided with random materials and were given free-reign to create.   The structures were beautiful, amazing, thought-provoking, and a bit whacky.   Thank you, MCA, for offering this free trip.


This evening at home...

• finish the bridge brochure. I will be collecting the graphic organizers and the finished product in the morning.  Yes, the headings need to be colored. Yes, it should reflect your best work.    All of the guidelines for the project can be found on the previous post.
• practice your multiplication by completing the following problems. Please show all of your work:
• a) 675x 346  b) 107x456 c) 368 x 1,258  d) 92x 868  e) 702x 670

Notes.....

• We will NOT take our regular reading test tomorrow. We will take it on Monday.
• We WILL take the CPS Literacy Performance task.  Students will read a passage and respond to several prompts.
• We will build bridges tomorrow. If any student can donate plastic straws, we will use them!
