Inspired artwork

It was great seeing most of our class on the call the other day. Some people have done inspired artwork at home that I'm sure even Picasso would be proud of.

Riley did a really cool thing with an assignment we had from Charlotte's Web, look at his strange pet shop, unfortunately closed for now.

Derek made an amazing Picasso piece. I can picture this work appearing in a museum.

Here is Marcos's Picasso piece.
Paris choose some lovely colors for her artwork.
Paris also did very nice work creating the comic strip for this week's reading assignment. This shows us how the mom in the story colored the butter yellow.

Take a look at Kyla's Picasso piece. Do you think she did a good job at showing "emotionless"?

Kyla also got creative at home by making her own homemade scale for this week's math assignment.

Marcos made an excellent scale too. It's good to know what we can do if we ever need to measure things at home.

TCC and Guadalupe gym field trips and Students of the Month for December and January

Image
Congratulations once again to Caira for winning the Smelly T-Shirt Reading Contest in the Fall. Acknowledgement is also in order for Abby, Willow, and Analyia, who came in close runners up.  Fortunately for everyone, our class is starting up a new Reading Contest for the Spring. The theme is a Reading Marathon. We are now writing our reading logs on "running feet," which we are going to put up around the school and see how far we get! Students will continue to earn stickers, which they can put on their marathon avatars.  Our class went on a fantastic field trip last week to the Talpa Community Center. We got to visit the library, where the students explored new books and read to each other. Thanks to the librarian there, Ms. Lucita, we also got to make tortillas. They came out so tasty, and the students enjoyed eating them for lunch paired with butter, peanut butter, and fresh jam. Feel free to contact me if you want the recipe.  Our class walked to the Guadalupe gymnasium la

Acequia field trip and US State projects

Image
The 3rd grade worked very hard on their US State poster projects. The students created some awesome artwork, and did a great job standing up in front of the class presenting. We also had a field trip recently to the Taos acequia system. The class had a fantastically fun time watching the water flow through the ditches.  The moment when we opened the sluice for the first time this season! We saw some cool wildlife, including peacocks! The class maintained good order while out in the field, as usual.

Trout Release and Hiking Field Trip

Image
It was sad to have to say goodbye to our trout last week, but we think they are better off in their natural habitat. And speaking of habitats, our class was fortunate enough to go with Rivers and Birds to the Columbine-Hondo trail in Red River, where we learned the basics about enjoying wilderness areas responsibly.  Before releasing the trout, our class shared what they had learned with the Kindergarten.  Habitats. A trout's diet. Stages of life of trout. The Nitrogen Cycle. Getting them out of the tank wasn't as easy as we had anticipated.  Hanging out by the fishing pond.  Getting ready to throw out handfuls of food to big, hungry trout.  Getting our feet wet for the actual release.  Lucky catch! Nothing like eating an Italian ice while watching someone else fish.  Ms. Darcy's Italian ices might have been the highlight of the whole trip.  An idyllic setting at the Red River Hatchery. Going over the rules for the trail with Ms. Rebecca.  Stopping for a water break. Explor
