Thank you

Thank you to all of the parents that have donated time and/or materials to our Mighty Makers project!  Students are having a blast finishing up the year by making our playground a better place!

Eric Carle as a Mentor

Eric Carle is a prominent children's book author.  Students in the classroom have become acquainted to his work.  This week we learned how Eric makes his painted papers.  On Tuesday, each child demonstrated their new knowledge by making four different types of painted papers (splatter paint, wet on wet, sponge paint and straw blown paint).  Students are now in the process of making stories, just like Eric Carle's.  We have octopus stories, cat and dog stories, spider stories and so much more!  It is great to see students using their imagination to make up their animal/insect themed stories.  When stories are complete, students will use the painted paper that they made earlier in the week to illustrate their stories through collage.  Everyone is extremely excited to see their stories come together!
