Mrs. Wozniak’s 3rd-4th grade language arts hub topic group has been studying the history of Buddhism, and today they saw “Reflections of The Buddha” at the Pulitzer. They were very well behaved, as other visitors noted. In this photo students are inside the Serra sculpture “Joe,” but they spent most of their time inside with beautiful Buddhist art, where photos were not allowed. Students at the St. Michael School often visit places that relate meaningfully to the curriculum, which provides a powerful learning experience for the students.
Math:
Wozniak: Talk with your families about how we practiced multiplication facts today in class. If you do not have multiplication fact cards at home, please purchase some in the next few days. Please be sure to be practicing facts through the 6’s. If you are comfortable with those, you may move on.

Today, we looked at pictures of the lotus flower. This flower is an important Buddhist symbol that rises from the ‘mud of the swamp’ to blossom. We sketched the basic shape of the flower with pencil and filled it in with torn pieces of tissue paper. Although this flower is typically white or pink, we decided to add more colors to flowers. When finished the lotus flowers will be hung in our room to remind us to be kind and compassionate towards others.
Today we celebrated Eddie’s 4th birthday!!! Happy Birthday Eddie!!
In preparation for our next novel, A Single Shard, the 5th and 6th graders met in small groups to do some pre-work to study Korean history, traditions, and other facts.
Some questions answered were: Research a past or present Korean leader. Locate and describe a popular landmark in Korea. What are the main religions in Korea?
