Another Fabulous Day In Gifted!

Today in Gifted we did some really cool stuff! One thing we did was called cartoon confusion.Cartoon Confusion is when we first have a sheet of paper that has pictures of famouse idioms. what is a idiom? An example of a idiom is "it's raining cats and dogs". So we had to figure out what what the idioms stood for. One of the idioms was a picture of a rainbow and the word somwere over it. Then we came up with a real idiom and drew a picture of it. One of the things i drew was a picture with a girl and a fish. I made the fish sort of looking like it smelt bad, and the what i call "fish stink" was coming up and into the girls nose. The idiom for that was " something smells fishy". And remember when we put up a post about tesselations well we did the same thing as that but instead of wacky shapes we made ghosts.
