Artwork inspired by Henri Matisse

 

The children learned about Henri Matisse and how when he became bedridden he continued to create artwork using scissors to cut shapes.  The children began cutting shapes with scissors to create their own masterpiece and then wrote a story to go with the picture.  Here is some of their work!  Enjoy!

Wow! Another classroom community celebration for TEAMWORK!



Is this fun or what?



Even the adults enjoyed P.J. Day!

Tracking animals in the snow



What kind of animal did Sandal bring?



Look! Something left behind by an animal!
What could it be?



Icicles hanging from a cliff are
so interesting!





We found a place where squirrels had just had
a snack!



What a nice log for sitting and resting!



Welcome Back Home!

The class worked together to make a welcome back home poster for Sadira's dad who will be
returning home from a year in Afghanistan!  The children were excited to create each letter of the
banner and then see it all roll out with their messages and their artwork!  We know it will be a great
reunion for the family to finally be back together again after so long apart!

 

Sing-A-Long

On Friday, we had our holiday Sing-A-Long with our Book Buddies, Mrs. Pierce's 4th Graders.
First we practiced in the Music Room....

Then we went to the stage!  Up on the risers!   Would we see someone we

knew in the audience?

Now, the curtains opened and we started to sing!

This was fun!!!  Everyone clapped for us!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Veteran's Day Parade

The children enjoyed a brisk walk downtown to watch the Veteran's Day Parade.  They made United States flags before we left the classroom and waved them excitedly at the parade.  Nitya who is from India learned about how our Veteran's Day is celebrated and how we honor all the men and women who have served our country in the armed forces.
