In reading this week we are doing some thing called epals.The people we are doing it with live in Moscow, Russia.The cool thing is that they are also in 5th grade, too.Our classroom and their classroom sent over pictures to each other.In their pictures they all wore the same thing.In some of the pictures you can really tell what they were doing. In some of the pictures they were doing plays.Even though it does not seem we have a lot in common, WE DO!!!!! We are doing this as we learn about people from other cultures.
In art this week we did paintings on canvas or paper.You would do the painting based on your poem.Most people would do all these different shapes and designs.At the end they were very colorful and great.I think everyone had a great time!
In Social Studies we learned that Francisco Pizarro was a conquistador.Pizarro was born in Spain in 1478 and died in 1541. Pizarro was invited to a feast, but then ambushed the Inca. Pizarro killed thousands of the Inca and strangled their leader, Atahuallpa. This, along with disease that his men brought, ended the Incan empire. Pizarro wanted to take riches in Lima, Peru. Later, he was killed by Pedro de Almagro while trying to take the riches. Almogre wanted the riches for himself.
