Our Mexican Oaxaca Creatures!

Aloha Room 28 'Ohana,
     Everyone sure showed-off their creative side in art class!  It was so exciting to see how your Oaxaca creatures went from clay to WOW!  How amazingly beautiful they ALL are!

     In this blog assignment:  First, tell me the name you gave him or her.  Next, please describe 2 things that make your creature so unique or special.
   
     Mahalo for using your creative imagination!  I really enjoyed teaching you how to sculpt and paint your whimsical Oaxaca creatures!   ~Aloha, Mrs. Wong

It's the 4th Quarter Already???!!!???!!!

Aloha Room 28 'Ohana!
      I don't know about you, but this school year is just "flying by" for me!  I can't believe we are already in the 3rd week of the 4th Quarter....the LAST quarter of the school year!  As we all continue to learn as much as we can in our last two months of 4th grade, I want you to reflect upon your 3 past quarters and think of 2 goals you would like to accomplish before May 29, the last day of school.  Let's be specific and name/explain 2 "school-related" goals.  Think to yourself, what do I really want to set my mind at accomplishing before I become a 5th grader?  Don't worry if you don't succeed at accomplishing these goals, because it'll be your first two goals as a 5th grader to keep on trying!  If you find that you do accomplish these goals by May 29th, then that's just an added bonus!
      What I really want you all to remember is to always continue to challenge yourself.  Set goals, aim high, and never settle for less!  Do and be the BEST you can be in all you do.  Don't let anyone put you down, and as long as you believe in yourself, then know that one day YOU CAN, and YOU WILL!
      Have your (2) goals posted by Sunday, April 13.  Be thoughtful when responding.
