Museum of Fine Arts Field Trip
Making our way to the Beck Building!
Taking notes in the Art Logs while the docent discusses Georgia O'Keefe's artistic style.
Silliness at the conclusion of the trip!
The silliness continued through lunch! We made the best of the day since our plans were literally 'rained' on!
The kids enjoyed creating structures with the base-10 blocks during Indoor Recess.
Opera to Go: Hansel and Gretel
On Wednesday morning, we were all treated to a wonderful production of Opera To Go's "Hansel and Gretel." The children were mesmerized by the performance!Measurements
The children have been learning about measuring over the last two weeks. This week, they used tape measures to estimate each others' heights and measured around different parts of their bodies: wrist, elbow, head, ankle, etc. Of course, their observations were recorded in their workbooks.Student Led Conferences
The children rehearsed for the Student Led Conferences with a couple of their classmates. Thank you to all that were able to make it. The children were really proud to show you their work! If you were unable to come on Wednesday, please feel free to schedule another time, you can even do it first thing in the morning. It should take only about 15 minutes. Pop Art
The class working on Pop Art inspired by Andy Warhol. Check out the finished pieces in the "Gallery" outside our classroom. I've heard many spectators complement the works of art!This week

Handwriting, Domino Top-It, and Calendar
Even though we had early dismissal today we managed to pack in lots of learning. The kids played Domino Top-It, which helps reinforce their addition skills; practiced their handwriting, went through the daily calendar routine, and more math... Ask your child how many days they have been in school, or what the weather was yesterday, today, and what it might be tomorrow. All the children will have an opportunity to be the Calendar Helper and lead the class in this activity for an entire week.Jackson Pollock Inspired Art
The children learned about American artist Jackson Pollock today. Afterwards, they all created their Pollock-style art. It is amazing how different they all turned out and they all had the same colors on the palettes. As you can probably tell, some will take a few days for the paint to dry!
