Impressionism Continued
We continue this week learning about Impressionism. Today we learned about Pierre Renoir and imitated his Girl with a Watering Can.Impressionism: Monet's Japanese Garden
We started a new artist today: Claude Monet. The children worked on their interpretations of The Japanese Bridge, they are looking great!Matisse Jack-o-Lanterns
The children created Jack-o-Lanterns inspired by Henri Matisse's style. They used one black sheet and a half-sheet of orange paper. Nothing was wasted, every cut piece was used, thereby creating a positive and negative image. 
Responsible 1st graders
Parents, on a beautiful day like today the children stayed in from recess to write a reflection about how they can be responsible members of our classroom community :(There have been too many incidents over the last few weeks of pencils being broken, glue bottles being left open and consequently spilling onto other bottles, etc. Please talk to your child, in general, about taking care of the classroom materials. Thank you!
