In reading class this week we learned about Trompe L'Oeil.  This is French for 'tricking the eye'. Watch this link to see amazing examples of Trompe L'Oeil.  We used the first segment (approx 3 min.) in class.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctJytK-lDY0&feature=youtu.be

Students then chose a favorite to briefly research and then each wrote a descriptive paragraph using sensory details that allow the reader to visualize the trompe l'oeil. Come see our work displayed outside our classroom!

We also wrapped up our study of technology in science class.  It focused on medical technology and information/ computer technology.  Students used the design process to  design a box to hold their pens/pencils.  We also used models to study prosthetics and robotic arm movement.

As the quarter wraps up this week, we will have a test in both  Wordly Wise (Wednesday) and Science (Thursday)..
