Ted Harrison Art, Reading Like a NewsReporter Homework, No-Waste Wednesdays!

Friday we learned about a famous Canadian Artist named Ted Harrison.

We drew our picture using big lines and thinking about the foreground, mid-ground and background and the horizon line of our picture. 

We then used pastel and water color to create a vivid, colorful landscape of the Arctic. 

We then added our step-by-step drawing, that we cut out and pasted on to our Arctic Landscape. 

We can't wait to show them off to you at our upcoming Student-Led Conferences next week!!


NO WASTE WEDNESDAYS!


The Green Team is working hard to promote reducing our Carbon Footprint by Reducing, Reusing and Recycling. We will be having our first “No-Waste Wednesday” (aka Litter-less lunch) on Wednesday, March 20th. We encourage kids to bring no prepackaged food to school and to be creative in using only reusable or recyclable containers to pack their snacks and lunch. After this Wednesday, these “No-Waste Wednesdays” will occur once per week for the remainder of the year. We will be weighing the impact of this initiative in Green Team Club by looking at the amount of landfill garbage we are able to reduce for the months of March, April, May and June.

Just a quick friendly reminder that we are still collecting plastic milk jug, water bottle and juice bottle/carton lids to use for our Green Team Club recycled art project. Please continue to send in with your child, in order to ensure that we have enough combined to make a wonderful art piece for our school! We will continue to collect these plastic lids until the week after Spring Break April 5th, 2019.
