Dear Families:
Hello, I am Liam. I am a member of the Upper L. I am also a member of Greece, and I am very
happy because Greece came in first in the Olympic hockey game tournament. The U.S.A. came in second, Russia came in
third. It felt like 20 degrees below zero
during the hockey tournament. We could
not go to curling because one of the volunteers was ill.
We started studying Marc Chagall. He was a Russian
artist. I researched Marc Chagall, and I learned that he liked to use vibrant
colors in his art work. He often painted
humans and objects in unusual positions.
Many times the subjects of his work were floating, and sometimes they
were up-side down!
We began a compare and contrast essay on Cinderella
stories. Every student in the class
picked two Cinderella stories from around the world to read and analyze. We’ll be working on this project the next few
weeks. We’ve also picked the date of
March 31 to have our animal reports completed.
We saw Cool Runnings today. It was a really funny movie about the
Jamaican bobsled team. We were all
talking about our favorite parts at the end of the school day.
Debbie wants everyone to know that the Closing
Ceremony for our Olympic simulation will be on Thursday, March 6 at
2:15P.M. Our curling competition might
be this Wednesday from 1:00-2:30P.M.
She’ll let you know as soon as we hear from the curling club.
Finally, we will have Pizza
Thursday next week instead of Pizza
Friday. Debbie, Amy and Rachel will be at a conference
on Friday. We should all bring our own
lunches next Friday.
From,
Liam & Sleuths
