Mrs. Richards' Reports from Room 137

Our Art Museum field trip was a huge success. The children enjoyed creating sculptures depicting a season on their canvas using a variety of materials like model magic clay, stones, Popsicle sticks, and paint. They viewed a variety of art work in the galleries showing the seasons. The children made great connections between the art work and the seasons.

On Monday, we kick off the week with Read Across America by celebrating Dr. Seuss' birthday. We will have a guest reader, do a goldfish graph, and some writing activities. We will celebrate with cupcakes and juice. Here are some pictures from our field trip to the Art Museum. Great connections to our ACE project!
