Art Adventure

We've been learning about art at the art museum.  The theme of the lesson we are learning is "Friends, Family and Foes".  We saw a statue or sculpture of the Indian god Shiva.  We learned that he had a child that had an elephant head and another that was half peacock.  Another thing we learned is that he had an extra eye for wisdom.  There was also a painting that showed people wearing masks.  There was a skeleton in the air.  It was sort of freaky.
We have learned a lot about art.  Thank you to Anna's Mom for volunteering her time to teach us!

Rockets

This is the first of many video podcasts that we hope to do for our blog and maybe for the district website in the future.  This one is a piece written by Emma and she is describing a project we did before break.

Enjoy!
