Field Trip to the Art Institute of Chicago
One group got to create art like Jackson Pollock's masterpiece on their tour.
They got to throw pieces of string to create abstract art.
These are the strings that we got to walk through.
It felt like cold rain.

This week the 4th graders went on a field trip to the Art Institute of Chicago. It was a lot of fun. We got to take a tour with a docent and explore with a group. During our tour we saw a piece of abstract art and a sculpture with dangling tubes that we got to walk through. During our free time some people saw the Thorne rooms and many enjoyed looking at the armor. Some people also went to the touch gallery where we got to touch the sculptures and the plaques were braille. At the end of our free time one group went to the puppet room. They got to play with puppets and put on a show.
Explorers of the New World
A few weeks ago we started researching explorers of the New World.
We started sorting and glueing our facts.
This is a picture of someone typing their research paper.
At the start of February, we all started researching a specific explorer of the New World. After researching and organizing our facts, we began to type our paper. We learned a lot about our explorer and are now excited to create a website about our explorer. We are excited to share our knowledge on our websites.
