No Food Waste Pot Luck
No Food Waste Pot Luck
What can be done that brings both the world and our community stronger? One way is having a Pot Luck! Class 3-217 created a pot luck by re-using scrap paper and 3-D paper sculputing techniques to cook up their own dish to the pot luck.
A few of the techinques used are: crumple, fringe, tear, roll, fold and twist
The comparison of using paper scraps to food scraps should be made here! Instead of disgarding your leftovers, what will you bring to the table?
Here, I posted two videos. One explaining about the issue of food waste and another by of a possible solution.

Bengali New Year
Bengali New Year
"pohela boishakh "
April 14th is the Bengali New Year!
In recongition of this hoilday, 3rd graders practiced cultural senstivity when learning about Bangladesh's folk art and tradtions. Common traditions to celebrate is a parade held with representations of animals and clay dolls.
As well as rice with fried fish, pepper and a variety of bhorta ( mashed vegetable, meat or fish with onions, pepper, perhaps garlic and mustard oil).
Third graders used paper to form into 3-D owl mask by manipulating the paper to bend and keep the rounded shape. They also formed their own patterns using lines, and shapes.
To say Happy New year:
"শুভ নববর্ষ "
"Surbo Nobo Borsho"
Song on the New Year:
( I enjoy this version of the song and English Subtitles are shown)
