HALLOWEEN. ALL. DAY. LONG. Part 3 Dia de los Muertos Art

Art has worked very well in the Distant Learning realm. 

Ms. Angela uses two computers to show herself teaching 

and to have a close up view of the process.

 

The kids come ready with their supply box, 

they are focused, 

and their results are spooktacular!

HALLOWEEN. ALL. DAY. LONG. Part 2 Room on the Broom and Writing

If you have ever read or watched the animated video of this book, you know that it's quite the treat. 

Perfect for trick-or-TREAT day!

We read and watched the book 

and then got out our Mini-MakerSpaces. 

Our beloved school MakerSpace has been such an integral part of our curriculum, that the Navigators each have a box of supplies from our treasure trove of junk stuff in order to craft, design, create, tweak, and engineer. You would have thought it was their birthday when they each received their boxes. :)

Today's task:

Make a broom plus all the animals that join the witch on her broom!

Look at all our fun, imaginative designs and the stories we wrote. 

We always take time to show our friends at home and vice versa.

What if we each had a broom? 

What would it look like?

Where would we go? 

Who would we take?

This broom has several stories, a restroom, and much more.

These Navigators have soaring imaginations!

Well, here's what some of the Navigators thought she should be:

A fun, super sweet, super sticky time was had by all.

And that's just the beginning of our day.
