CLASS UPDATES
- 3 Day 3’s – As we continued with our art unit, the children were introduced to the famous artist “Mondrian”. We read “Mouse Paint” by Ellen Walsh and “Ain’t Gonna Paint No More” By Karen Beaumont. They had fun recreating a piece of Mondrian artwork. Spring has finally sprung!!! We added flowers and leaves to our class tree. Have a great weekend!!
- 4 Day 3’s – We continued our famous artists unit this week and the children are thoroughly enjoying our art projects. Learning about Mondrian and how he used black lines, squares, rectangles and red, yellow and blue to create his masterpieces was something the children loved. Picasso was the second artist this week. We focused on his “Bouquet of Flowers” and each child created his/her own.
- 5 Day 4’s – U” week was an exciting was very exciting. We created umbrella’s that are decorating our classroom now.
