Art Tour Thursday!

What a treat today! We took a walking tour of all the artwork on display from Kindergarten to Seniors in high school. As we toured the art work we commented on styles and recorded certain pieces of forms of art that appealed to us. When we arrived at the Student Learning Center, we were in awe of the paintings and sculpture that the Upper Division art students had created. You will want to ask your child which piece of art that they stood in front and why. AMAZING!!!

Tomorrow will prove to be a wonderful day as well. Don't forget to have the kids wear jeans bottoms and a white shirt. We will meet you outside around 10:45 to 11:00. We will sit together as a class for the program, but then will be allowed to sit with you for the picnic. I have also told the children that they are allowed to stroll you around and show you all the artwork if you can't stay, but they must stay with you at all times. The children have also been instructed that this is not recess time. Please try to make it up to the Student Learning Center. The children must be back to the room by 12:45 so that we may continue our day.

Tonight's responsibilities are as follows:
Spelling test with dictation.. to be written in cursive
Review multiplication tables
Complete reading sheet.. this activity is an example of a format that will be used on the ERB's that the children are not familiar with.. based on the paragraph, they have to decide the order of the sentences so that it not only in sequential order but also makes sense.

With all the Celebrate the Arts things going on, I decided to put the Earth Day activity on hold till we get back on Tuesday. I do hope you all have a great three day weekend. Make sure that the children are in bed on Monday night at a time that allows them to get a good night's sleep. I have told them to make sure that they eat something for breakfast.
