4th Grade (A Group) in the Art Room doing art with nature and science. Watercolor wet on wet with a sprinkle of salt and some leaves, let dry overnight and you have leaf imprints! Oh, and some Plus-Plus Creations.

***Art Room Update*** In the Art room, we often do our major art projects in smaller groups while the rest of the students work with Plus-Plus blocks. You will notice future posts, we will not only have pictures of the students at the “art table” but also have pictures of the creations that are made while the rest are waiting their turn. They are excited to tell me about and get a snap shot of what they have created while they were waiting. Plus-Plus pieces are construction blocks designed to encourage creativity and open-ended play. The block is known for its unique design, which allows children to create a variety of shapes and structures using only one shape. A perfect way to stimulate fine motor skills, creativity, focus and patience! Recently the art room received more bases for the students to make their creations on. Thank you Mrs. Hime!!!

Preschool enjoyed dressing up for career day! They are learning all about letter C and enjoying many activities about c in their classroom.
