Our Picasso-inspired self portraits are AMAZING! The paper/water colour transfer task yesterday created incredible backgrounds for our black line portraits. It was so fun to peel off the coloured paper to reveal the prints underneath! We watched a read-aloud online about Pablo Picasso that taught us some interesting facts about this iconic artist. Ask your child if they can tell you what his first word was...even before Mama (it was pencil!)
Call for boxes: we are using a ton of cardboard during our workshop time each afternoon! If you have a few empty cereal or cracker boxes that you can send along to donate to our cardboard collection, we would appreciate it.
Conferences next week...I believe registration is now open to sign up for conferences next Thursday and Friday. This will be our last opportunity to discuss your child's progress this year, as we enter the home stretch of Grade One! I look forward to chatting about strengths, areas for growth and citizenship of students in Room 4.
