Monday- We practiced drums and our
showcase songs “Stache” and “Pompeii”, we learned about Vincent Van Gogh, and
painted by mimicking his “etching” painting style.
Tuesday- We learned about Walt Disney
and his “Imagineers.” We created our own theme park rides using Pneumatics (Air
pressure) and magnets.
Wednesday- We learned about Walt
Disney’s creations, movies, and television show (Including how he created
Mickey Mouse, and the “World of Color”).
We worked sketching our own Mickey Mice.
Thursday and Friday- We will go to
the computer lab to work on our Moby Max lessons with Mr. Y while Mr. J is at
the teaching convention.
Next week, we will be continuing our Mustache theme as we learn about two people who blend art, math, and science: Leonardo DaVinci & M.C. Escher!
