Coming Up Next!!!

For February, we will be studying Arizona preparing for our state's centennial!!!  I was planning a special art project (action painting!!) in honor of Jackson Pollock, a former Phoenix Elementary School District #1 student, and I am going to need some supplies some of you may have in your garage.  We will need a canvas drop-cloth and two or three colors of left-over latex paint, and three large house paintbrushes.  If you have any of these items please send me an email.

In addition to a study of Jackson Pollock, we will be studying the state flag, tree and flower, desert animals, cacti and desert flowers.

February is also the month that we get to have our Valentine's Celebration!!!  (My favorite!)  On Valentine's Day, Tuesday 2/14, each child will need 25 Valentines with only your child's name written on them (so we may pass them out walking around the group circle) and a Valentine's Box.  Kleenex boxes make GREAT Valentine's Boxes.  Decorate the box at home and be sure your child's name is on it.  Candy is O.K. to pass out with the Valentines if you want.

Welcome to our class Arianna!

The children LOVE to work outside!

We are back, and the children are working harder than ever!  This is my favorite time of the school year!  Right now we are studying the five senses, the brain, Arctic animals, camouflage, Vincent VanGogh and Johann Sebastian Bach.

I wanted to also thank you all for my class holiday gift!  It is so special that you all thought to do something for me!

Show Me Night is coming soon!  This is a super fun evening where your child gets to give YOU some of their favorite lessons!  The night is January 25th and the times are designated by the first letter of your last name.  I will be handing out your child's progress report that night and you may opt out of a conference by attending.
