In Math we finished up all unfinished work from the weeks activities so we can begin a new set next week.
After lunch we finished our multistep art project. We cut out our tissue paper covered leaves. We printed out our poetic sentences from the computer lab. in which we experimented with font. We then assembled our mixed media artwork and displayed it in the hall. We all had to embellish the sentence " The wind blew the leaves." to make it more interesting. We continued to explore line by creating a black and white background and added our leaves that looked at the warm colours of fall, while working with tissue paper and a glue and water mixture. Look at the beautiful examples below.

We also finished reading the novel " The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane." After being repaired Edward was in the doll shop. Bryce came into see him, and was told not to come back and to say goodbye. Edward met a little doll that told him no one would buy him because he was a rabbit and not a doll. Edward didn't care. He did not want to be purchased. After a few months, a 100yr. old doll was placed next to him on the shelf. She helped him understand how good things and bad things happen in our lifes and to be hopeful. She told him to keep hope and someone will buy him. Edward opened his heart. After many years sitting the shop, someone finally came and had interest in him. A little girl named Maggie. She wanted him badly. Edward was pleased and he noticed that the mother of the girl was wearing his pocket watch as a necklace! YES, Edward was purchased by his first owner's (Abeline) daughter. What a happy ending to a great story.
