We are inspired by...

Right now, in Room 305, we are inspired by Marcel the Shell with Shoes On. In two short videos, the filmmakers have created a very memorable, distinctive character. Shortly, we will be creating our own characters (based on some of our Specimens To Go from the Museum of Nature) and writing letters in character.

See Marcel the Shell with Shoes On in action:





Soon we will be getting a copy of the Book "Marcel the Shell with Shoes On: Things About Me" in the class. I wonder who will be able to imitate Marcel's voice!

Birds and Dance

Today, Tiiu hosted students from the Junior division in her room and showed two dances that had to do with birds.

Some students watched them and others stayed in room 305 to work on Science (this was their choice!).

The students who missed the dances asked me to post them so they could watch.

Enjoy...
