ALL ABOUT ART!

Dear Parents,

 

On Monday we celebrated Micah's 4th birthday!  Thank you to his family for the delicious cupcakes!

This week we began working on our projects for the art show.  The first artist we introduced was Peter Reynolds, award winning author and illurstrator of The Dot, The North Star, and Ish, as well as the owner of the Blue Bunny Book Store, and founder of Fablevision.

We had a class discussion about what an artist can be.  He/she could be a painter, artist, sculptor, dancer, etc. We will be spending the next few weeks replicating various artist's work for our art show, which will be held at the school on April 10th.

We also, completed our final sketch and paintings for the Original Art Works Project.  The children worked so hard on their sunflowers.  The results were fantastic!

The children then created pictures out of dots by using bingo markers.  

We also had a special visit this week from Puddlestompers - (a nature exploration program).  The goal of this program is to connect young children to the outdoors.  They taught the children about animals who are predators and what foods they eat.  Then the children searched in the woods for animal food.

    

We ended our week by celebrating Sophie's 5th birthday!  Thank you to her family for the delicious cake.

            

Love,
Ms. Bonne and Ms. Barbara
