First day back... and Hello 2013!

It's the first day of school, and we had Library, Music, and Art. We painted lots of things and I painted a watering can and flower garden, and some other people did too. - Alexandra

 

Today we got a new student in our class. Her name is Emma and she sits at a table with Alexandra, Dylan, and Marie. - Lexi

 

For Art today, we painted pictures. There was a list we could choose from for what to paint, and one of them were a ball in the sea at the beach. That's the one I chose. - Gal

 

It was great seeing all of the class back today. I had a great holiday, but I was really looking forward to getting back and spending my day with this great group of students. Speaking of students, as Lexi mentioned, we were lucky enough to welcome another one into our classroom today - Emma transferred to our school today, and the students were thrilled to welcome her into room 18. We look forward to getting to know her even better over the coming weeks and months.

 

For Art today, the students were challenged to paint pictures using only the three primary colours: blue, yellow, and red. Their choices for subject matter were:

 

-       A beach ball rolling into the sea

-       A rowboat on a lake on a sunny day

-       Red, blue, and yellow fruit

-       An airplane zooming over a circus tent

-       A watering can in a flower garden

-       A child with an umbrella walking in the rain

-       The wind vane on the top of a barn

-       A child with a wagon

 

The students finished, and their work will be on our Artsonia page later this week - make sure to check it out (click on the Artsonia link on the right-hand side of the page).
