Animal Art Sale: A Really Huge Success!

We raised $275.26 and all the money will be donated to the Rainforest Action Network. The sale was a huge success because we sold 60 pieces of animal art. Many kids stayed after school to help. We did this because we care deeply about animals and the environment because animals are becoming extinct and the environment is being destroyed. 

Thank you to Ms. Phillips for giving us permission and to Joe for setting up our tables. Thank you to all the people who helped and all the people who donated money for the Rainforest Action Network. Thank you to the Rainforest Action Network for keeping animals and the environment safe!

Animal Art Sale!

On Friday, April 29th, come in front of the school, because our class will be hosting an Animal Art Sale, selling art related to animals and giving all the profits to the Rainforest Action Network, a charity working hard to save the disappearing rainforest! In the mood for friendship bracelets, animal art or animal clay sculptures? Then it is essential that you come to the sale!

Here are just a few samples of the art we will have to offer at the sale!

Family Friday: Signs from Colonial America

It was great to see so many of you in the classroom on Friday for Family Friday! This month, we created art related to Colonial America. Each student chose an occupation from Colonial America that they were interested in and read up about the job. Then, working with families in the room and friends, students created their own signs just like those that would have lined a street in Colonial America. Our signs all include images because a significant part of the population was illiterate at the time.

Enjoy some pictures of our time painting!

Here are a few samples of our signs. We still have some finishing touches to put on the signs, so we'll update again when they are finished. Enjoy!
