Art Attack Don Binney

We are learning to create art inspired by Don Binney.

I'll know I can do this when I have created a landscape with a foreground, middle, and background.

My bird and my background are colored using pastels and natural colors. The black out line is in black pastel.

Reading Whio

I am learning to apply our prior knowledge to a text.

I'll know I can do this when I can think of ways I have connections to a text and I can use those connections to help decode unfamiliar words and ideas.

The prior knowledge is the things that we know before we read the story and the new knowledge is the things that we get in the story.

I'll know I can do this when I can explain how to make a mixed number from a fraction and can show my thinking.

I am learning to read and write down the whole number and what is left.
