Week 3 Projects: Language Arts, Math, History • Art Volunteers Needed!
Hello All,
Welcome to Week 3! Today begins my weekly post updating you about what we will be completing in class this week! Tomorrow, your child will recieve all their work back that they turned into me on Friday. On each assignment, I have written Try Again if they did not complete the project completely or have many errors. It is their job to fix it and get it back to me for credit ASAP! Like promised, we will start highlighting our project trees tomorrow to show where your student is individually in each subject. And your child will begin posting their work on their individual blogs!
Language Arts:
- Vocabulary-3 activities & Vocab form with weekly words & Friday Quiz
- Abel’s Island Comprehension Questions ch. 6-10
- Two Literature Circle Job Forms
- Nonfiction Article and 3 activities
- Weekly HW reading responses (3)
Math:
- Lesson 7 Daily 30
- Lesson 8 Daily 30
- Lesson 9 Daily 30
- Lesson 10 Daily 30
- Start studying for your first Saxon test. This will be next week!
History
- Finish From Artisan to Artist project (Project #2)
- Begin Cities of the Renaissance- Project #3
- Also, keep in mind that students will also need to choose their own extra projects to complete. You will find the extra projects on the History Project Tree in green. They are also explained in the syllabus near the end. It would be a great idea to begin those at home now!
Art
- Mona Lisa drawing of the Natural world!
Every project that I have listed will be worked on in class and you can find them in your child’s red folder. However, multiple students are not finishing these assignments in class and may need to work on them at home. Help keep your child organized and up to date! However, as 5th graders, they should begin holding themselves responsible. I am trying to promote responsibility and independence among our class!
-Ms. Rock
*Also, if any parents are interested in art and possibly teaching art to our class I would love to talk to you! We have art every Tuesday from 1:45-2:45. We are working on Art from the Renaissance right now. Please let me know if you are interested, I would love your help!
5th Grade 2014 Renaissance Art Project • Thank You Mrs. Smith!

Hi all! We had another fun day doing art. We have moved into the Renaissance period which began in the 1400’s. This period was a time of rebirth and prosperity. The invention of the printing press brought the world closer together with the influences of art, science and math.One of the most famous artists of the time was Leonardo da Vinci. He was known as a “Renaissance man” because he had several talents (other than being an artist) which reflected the various opportunities of the time.Today we drew the Mona Lisa, Leonardo da Vinci’s most famous work of art.Enjoy!

Core Knowledge: “Art of the Renaissance” Curriculum
2013 Spring Gala – 5th Grade Art Project – Mona Lisa Mosaic Table
Mona Lisa OTA-Style! – Glasstile Mosaic Table
Leonardo da Vinci’s painting, Mona Lisa, is acclaimed as “the best known, the most visited, the most written about, the most sung about, and the most parodied work of art in the world.” So who could resist her beguiling smile? Not OTA’s fifth graders! As part of the Core Knowledge™ curriculum, the students studied the Mona Lisa in detail and were then able to re-create this masterpiece in their own medium of glasstile. This exquisite mosaic table will add grace and beauty to any space. (6’ diameter)
Special Thanks to: Oceanside Glasstile • Wedi Corporation • Greg and Jill Lehr • Streuter Technologies • Glass Accessories Int’l • Schmidt Design Group • Kathy Mitchell • Steve and Ilana Shupper • Andy and Shelley Richardson • James Gartland • Grout Party Parents! • Sonja Donahue • Children Paint the Masters After-School Art Club • OTA Fifth Grade Students, Class of 2016 • Leonardo da Vinci!

5th Grade- Renaissance Art Projects, Part 3: Michelangelo (Slideshow)
Michelangelo was next on the list of renaissance artists….
We are hoping to have an opportunity for the kids to to chisel a bit on a stone in class within the next few weeks, so they can get a feel for Michelangelo’s favorite medium – relief sculpture in marble.
But Michelangelo didn’t always get to sculpt, sometimes he had to paint… like the Sistine Chapel. The students got a feel for this pleasure right in the fifth grade. Painting the subject of their choice and working with color value (blending black or white with a color) while flat on their back!

5th Grade Renaissance Art Projects, Part 2: Albrecht Durer (Slideshow)
Next the students had the opportunity to work with watercolors and look into the German Northern Renaissance painter Albrecht Durer.
- We tried to attempt a water wash technique (tying the lesson to the sunset in chapter 10 of Phantom Tollbooth) using only primary colors and watching them blend on the paper to make the secondary colors, but alas the quality of the paints didn’t allow for the effect…
- The student’s also were invited to use their abilities of observation by bird watching and painting a silhouette/outline of a bird, freehand, on a wire. When the paintings were hung in a row they created a great, long line of unique birds – just hangin’ out enjoying a sunset view.
- These Sunset Bird On A Wire paintings were framed before the holiday break and given as gifts from the students.

5th Grade Renaissance Art Projects, Part 1: Leonardo’s Mona Lisa (Slideshow)
The students have been busy with Renaissance art these past few months… studying with OTA Parent-Volunteer and Art Teacher extraordinaire, Jennifer Lonack.
They started off with a look into the Renaissance man himself, Leonardo di Vinci, and worked with portrait technics using the Mona Lisa as a model.
The results might not have looked like Lisa, but some great characters and personalities showed through in every picture!

A Message About Art!
The 5th graders first visual arts project this year was a study of Henri Matisse including a great documentary.The students created their own paper cut out pictures with a cave drawingtheme (a tie in to their Early Man studies).A few of the students weren’t able to finish in class – I hope that you will help these students at home with glue and scissors, so that they can finish and bring in the finished project to hang with the rest of the class’.Many thanks.We are now moving into the art of the renaissance.The focus is on the renaissance man Leonardo de Vinci and the close relationship between art, science and math.We will be working on drawing portraits, using the Mona Lisa as our model.Each student has been asked to bring in a print of the Mona Lisa … within a library book, art/history book from home, postcard etc.Gratefully,Jennifer Lonack
