I know you have been wondering why you had to send in all the black picture frames, but I am so proud of these, that I have to show them off! Our school has a HUGE art show that would make most museums look bad! The teachers here are all so amazing and talented, and we are all just over achievers, so it has to be the best!
The theme we have this year is multicultural art. So I decided to do something with my camera, since I love taking pictures. We learned all about different settings and how to set a backdrop and how to focus the camera. So, to throw in the multicultural, I thought I would do fruit from around the world. The kids LOVED it and they did a great job! We first did them in black and white, but decided to do them again in color and I am so glad I did. I hope you can come to the Art Show Thursday night and see all the great works of art! Here is a sneak peak because I have the best mom in the world who came up here with me Sunday night to put up all the pictures with me. That was no easy task! So we stayed up here until around 10pm on my birthday night to get them up, but I LOVE THEM!!!! Thank you mom! You didn't know what you were getting into when I asked you to come, but you did a great job! If you don't know by now, if you ask to help, I will put you to work! :)
I don't want to take them down! I know, I know... they are yours and yes, they will be going home later in the year.
Aren't they beautiful? Just wait to see them close up!
We talked about PRONOUNS and how they take the place of a noun. I found a great teacher site that had the perfect activity to go along with pronouns, so I have to give credit to Mrs. Lemons over at Step Into Second Grade! Thank you for the great activity! The kids loved it and a special thanks to Savannah's mom for helping put up the tree! I wouldn't have gotten it up without you.
In math we are working on double digit subtraction with regrouping. For homework tonight, I gave a review sheet for them to do. Keep working on this! They will get it!
But... looking through my pictures, I found a cute even and odd activity we did earlier in the year. We made a town outside our room and we had to put the house numbers in order and put all the even houses on one side and the odd houses on the other side, just like our own homes. They had to use base ten blocks to show their number and make a house of it. They are so crafty and really got into it! I thought I would share your child's work! They are some smart cookies!
I hope you are having a wonderful week and I am sorry that I haven't been keeping up with this like I promised! I promise I will do better!
I still can't believe it is December!
