Homework Week of 16 November -20 November
This week our homework plan will be a bit different. First, there is no puzzle of the week this week. We are beginning a different instructional strategy for daily math, and we will have an opportunity to cover some of the higher level problem solving practice within this structure. Additionally, vocabulary for this week is a review test over the first 10 lessons. Finally, no current events for the week. Students will be receiving a handout regarding specific assignments for our art history unit through the course of the week. The assignments are web-dependent, but if students do not have internet access at home, they may have time in class to complete the work, but the students need to notify me and set up times.

ReplyDeletePicasso was a very interesting artist. When he was young he wanted to join an art school. The teacher there told him to draw and paint pictures. Picasso finished early. The next day he turned in his work and his teacher said, "You can't come to this school." "Why not?" asked Picasso. "Because I have nothing to teach you." As you can see Picasso was a good artist at a young age. Another fact about Picasso is that he married twice and had 4 children with 3 women. He was also very interested in bullfighting. He painted a lot of bullfighting pictures. When Picasso was young, he painted realistic pictures. As he became older, his style changed to cubism.
