March Madness

Our fourth and fifth grade students will be enjoying a friendly contest for the month of March. They will be earning points based on classroom procedures, working cooperatively and clean up procedures. At the end of the month,the top score for each grade level will earn a "FREE ART day" in which they can vote for their choice of materials (for example Paint or clay as their material of choice). Fourth grade students are comparing and contrasting the styles of Monet and Vincent van Gogh. Students will create an oil pastel still life in the style of either artist's style.
Third grade students are wrapping up their Native American Indian unit by creating a story writing using symbols. The students are enjoying "cracking each others' codes" and reading each others' stories. Second grade students have read the book "Tar Beach" by Faith Ringgold. Each student has chosen a place they would love to own. First grade artists are studying Claude Monet's paintings. They will be creating an oil pastel resist of waterlilies. Lastly Kindergarten students will be practicing their scissor skills by cutting and gluing mosaic shamrocks. Happy St. Patrick's Day to all.
