Success!
25 11 2006 
We had a very successful final events for both Mr. Brown’s class and Mr. Bynum’s class this past week. Thank you to all of the family members that were able to make it, and thank you our students who did such a great job with such a difficult assignment. I have included a couple pictures above of both events. Mr. Brown’s class still needs to turn in their accordion book stories to me on Monday if they have not done so already or it will be marked late.
In the weeks leading up until the winter break, the third grade students will be finishing up their community murals. They will soon be hanging up in the new wing. They will also be working with watercolors. The fourth grade students will be working with the principle of inspiration, and creating their own designs based on patterns and pictures they cut out. I will have their high contrast pictures hanging up very soon. The fifth grade students will be working with a great 3D modeling program called Google SketchUp which can be downloaded from my downloads page for free. Finally, the sixth grade students just started one of my favorite projects. They are creating monochromatic portraits. As I have told the students, these portraits are part of a process. In other words, they need to do many different activities correctly in order to get the desired outcome. They really look fabulous when they are finished, so I’m happy we have started this project.
I hope everyone had a safe and happy Thanksgiving break!
