Wednesday 3P students visited the various artisan shops at the famous Hasti Imom in Tashkent. The students were able to experience first hand, how their art was made. Through their observations and relevant questions, they appreciated how intricate their work was, how creative the artists had to be in order to create the work they do. A few jaws were dropped when it was revealed that one embroidered quilt, or one wooden carving could take as long as three months to produce, yet the cost to purchase them seemed extremely disproportionate. We visited 5 different artisans doing lacquered painting, embroidery, straw art, miniature painting and wood carving. See the pictures below of our field trip, as well as a few others taken during this week of learning.
Another highlight of the week was the Elementary school assembly celebrating International Mother Tongue Day. We had three risk taking students (Alex, Adnon and Abdulbosit) participating in the assembly, singing songs in their mother tongue.
In math we continued our work with fractions, with a focus on equivalent, mixed and proper/improper fractions. In language arts, we have been writing and listening to poetry, as well as contrasting and comparing the movie and the book version of Roald Dahl's book, BFG. It was a very busy but rewarding week! I managed to get into PE this week to see what they were doing. I hope you enjoy the pictures.
