Printing Buildings

On February 14, most of us finished our masterpieces. They were both printed and painted. They were very pretty - plus there were all sorts. There were schools and theaters and skyscrapers. I think you get my point. Anyway... then we had to write stories about them and some of them were pretty interesting like Adams - it was called The Air Problem, and Leilas was called The Story of Restaurant Gastovo, and mine - The Robbery, and Lena's was called Banza, and Theo's was called Cross Over Building. So you get my point. [Isabel R and Lena]

Toy Mechanisms

On the 1st of February Abby and Andrew's class finished toy mechanisms (most of us). Here are the steps we took. 1st we had to figure out what mechanism 1 and mechanism 2 looked like. Then made them out of wooden links. Next we decided what our mechanisms would look like and drew them in our science notebooks. Then we started making them with pivots and paper links. Now we're decorating them to look like a real toy. For example I made a person eating pizza, Sofia made her sister kicking a soccer ball, Briana made a person eating an apple, Alain made himself falling off a chair, Joshua made Spiderman swinging to the Empire State Building and back to the Chrysler.
