Floating Self Portraits

This morning we started off by writing in our journals about how we spent our summer. Ms. Binks will be looking at this writing to get a good idea about what kind of writers we are. We were asked to add lots of details and use best try spelling. Some of us wrote 2 pages! We did lots of interesting things over the summer including:
- going camping
- rode up a mountain on a horse
- went to B.C.
- went on a Disney cruise

We began an art project today. We are creating floating self portraits. We had to trace our hands and feet and then draw in our bodies. Since it looks like we are floating, we were able to choose a place where we could be floating. Some of us chose space, underwater, a pizzeria and in Minecraft world. There are some pictures below showing the first stages in our portraits.



This afternoon we continued our outside activities. In our sketchbooks, we chose to either create a page with sketches about the rules we learned yesterday or sketching the school with a focus on the specific shapes and textures of the building.
