On Friday in Mrs. Clare's third grade class, students learned about impressionistic painting and how some famous painters such as Claude Monet, use a variety of colors to paint their "impressions" of what they see in nature. Students then created their own impressionistic paintings of rain by creating water droplets with their paintbrush out of a variety of colors. Students had a blast with this art activity and created some pretty awesome pieces of art work! Along with the art project, students wrote acrostic and haiku poems about rain to go with their painting.

Last Friday the fourth grade went on a field trip to the Bean Museum and to Pioneer Park. We had a lot of fun learning about the animals and how the pioneers used to live!  

Students in Mrs.Oropeza's 2nd grade class got to learn about Scottish culture and traditions. Students learned all about the bagpipes and the history behind all of the different parts of bagpipes. Students learned about the different types of dancing, music, tartans and plaid.
