We also had a wonderful field trip to Silkworm to experience silkscreening... just like Sister Mary Corita Kent. Thank you to David for setting this up!
Here are some blog posts that go with our studies this week:
And here are some of my favorite photos from week 12:
choosing sticks for our Self Portraits with Stick & Ink
because Sister Mary Corita Kent was an art teacher,
we can try out some of her lesson ideas while we learn about her!
we used sticks from the yard and Daler-Rowney Acrylic Ink
Biomes of the World Mat from Waseca Biomes
resources for learning about the Inuit in the Arctic
resources for learning about the researchers in Antarctica
A is for Alligator
in Alexander and the Magic Mouse, Alexander the Alligator carries a letter in his mouth... a perfect illustration for the letter A!
illustrations we love from Curious George Learns the Alphabet
a wonderful yak poem from Eric Carle's Animals Animals
making fuzzy yak pictures with wool roving and wool felt
do you see the Y in the snout and horns?
Mongolia
our next Corita Kent activity: design your own board game!
Learning by Heart: Teachings To Free The Creative Spirit
by Corita Kent
I help a student turn a materials list into a box of supplies
she turns a box of supplies into a new board game!
we end up with six new game designs
a gnome is born!
resources for the shabono of the Yanomami people
C is for Catall curled up
and we draw a Mouse getting Magical Messages through his tail
adding fractions with common denominators in Math Club
our field trip to Silkworm was fantastic! those pics have their own post
adding the palafitos of Chiloe, Chile to the MLB
a lamb is born!
we look at pictures of the Dogtrot / Possumtrot Log Cabin in If You Lived Here: Houses of the World by Giles Laroche
and are inspired to build one with Lincoln Logs
another Corita Kent idea...
contour drawings of contour drawings
we loved Corita Kent so much that we didn't want to stop PLORK-ing (PLORK is a word she invented which combines play and work)
so in Science Club I challenged each child to invent a toy!
this child designs a doll pattern and begins to sew
Invent a Toy was a big hit
next up in Science Club: Building Cardboard Boats!
on Saturday all the families were invited to the Harrison-Bruce Historical Village to see a dogtrot log cabin in real life at the
Annual Christmas StrollNote:
Weeks 13 and 14 were covered in How to Put on a Play in 11 Days.
The Bongos concluded their Shelters block with the Mongolian ger and we went right into writing and putting on our play, "Stories from Mongolia."
