Shape Up and Mysteries of the World

In Mrs. Zawis' class today we played a game called Shape Up were you sat back to back with another person and tried to copy the other persons design they made from the shapes. But only one person can talk! The listener has to try to copy the shape design that the speaker has in front of them ...exactly. They cannot ask any questions at all- the speaker has to be very exact in their explanation. They compare designs when they finish to see whether they match. We can really work on our direction giving and listening skills! We got to research the mysteries of the world and make wikis.One of them was Easter Island, another was mystery spots, bermuda triangle, and Amelia Earheart's disappearance.

Awesome day of Gifted Take 2!

Today was another great day of Gifted! We finished up our cubism project. If you don't know what that is, it is inspired by Pablo Picasso. Read the other blog by Carli to find out more.

We also made a Wiki about famous scientists. A Wiki is not a word in a rap, it is place to post or find out information. And you can edit a Wiki to add more. Brook and I did our Wiki on Thomas Edison. Be sure to check out ALL of the Wikis on eminent scientists.

A Wiki Wacky Day

The first day of gifted was simply magnificent!W started off with some self portraits and not like our face....OUR NAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!we drew our names with our personality and hobbies.
We then stared busting our brains by finding states and countries in different sentences.For example:We went to the beach in a boat.and the answer is china.
We also learned about Picasso and did a cubism project.
And my favorite part WE STARTED THE MUSICAL!And i can't wait to find out some more songs.Can you tell that we have had a magnificent day in gifted.We've started learning about wiki's which is where you can go and edit information on different things and add to it . We are doing wiki's about different scientists.
