Art

In art we are making people doing a certain thing. Like sitting down,running, walking a dog, or playing a sport. First we are going to make them out of newspaper. Then we needed to wrap wire around them so that we can bend them in the form we want them to be in. Then you need to cover it in plaster. When the plaster dries we are going to paint them the way we should look like.

In the month of May we are going to be taking many field trips. It is a l0t of fun for fifth graders and we are very excited about that. But we aren't very excited about leaving elementary school. some of the fun highlights for May and part of June are D.A.R.E graduation, j bizz town, como park, track and field day at Eastview, visiting the middle schools, and Nickelodeon University for patrols. We are very excited for these fun days in fifth grade and we are going to be missing all of the wonderful teachers and friends here!
