All about ART!

This week was full of art, art, art! We got to have art with Todd almost every day this week. Students learned about acclaimed artists, such as Romare Bearden. They also experimented with collage (Bearden's main medium) and pop art. Students chose a picture of a cow (steer) or a chicken to copy. They filled the inside with one pattern, and the outside with another. The results were so much fun to see, and the kids loved it.

Another highlight this week was taking the last week or so before Winter Break to focus on the idea of place value. Students learned about the hundreds, tens, and ones places and their values in the numbers we see in math. They got to experiment and explore place value using base ten blocks, which was helpful for all.

We look forward to a week full of more reading, math, and especially winter art projects in hopes that more snow will soon come our way! See you next time!
