There is talk about having a Minecraft club in school! Four students had the idea. Eli, Owen, Tenny, and Keller worked together to come up with the idea. The idea is we would research famous landmarks and buildings across the globe then try to build them on Minecraft! The reason we have access to Minecraft is because last year we had something called Special Classes and playing Minecraft was one of the options. It went well so the teachers decided to try another thing that involved Minecraft earlier in the school year. We had to build the Oregon Trail from Independence to our own farm in Oregon. We think we could use Minecraft to build and learn about new places. What do you think should be a landmark or building we study?

A few weeks ago, we started creating self portraits. We learned about Romero Britto and his style , which includes patterns, bold lines, bright colors and simple designs. We all added food into our Romero Britto-inspired self-portraits because we are telling people about ourselves and our favorite foods. We are doing a study called Local Foods and we are adding foods, sometimes in repetitive patterns, to our portraits. We hung the portraits in our classroom and now we can see the similarities and differences in our class. By showing our favorite foods others can relate and connect to us. We assembled the foods into bright patterns and divided the sections with thick black lines like Romero Britto. We also hid other things we like into our self portraits. We put as much detail as we could into the pieces to show our identities. After we finished them, we mounted them on black paper and hung them on the wall. We hope you like them. This is our first blog post of the year and we work...
