Lunch with Ms. Kelly

Ana (4th grade) has placed the highest bid for the "Lunch with Ms. Kelly" prize at our school's WinterFest fundraiser. In fact, she placed the only bid. How is this possible?!! 

Last year, Ana won, as well, and she chose Maven to join us for lunch at Bene's Pizza (with chocolate for dessert, yum!).  There was an excellent hail storm that pummeled us on the walk back to school and made us laugh out loud. I wonder who Ana has chosen to bring along this year?

Fifth Grade Printmaking

Fifth Grade Printmaking

We have finished our "Animal and Environments" printmaking unit.  Here are some student comments about their experience:

"It was challenging to transfer the mouth of my polar bear drawing to my foam plate but I got it."  -Jonathan

"I liked the clicking noise of the ink!"  -Ruby

"I liked how the green and white mixed for my background. To me, it describes nature, like the outside world, animals, life..."  -Joshua

"I thought it was challenging. I learned how to draw a detailed fish."  -Lucie

"I felt that the different colors we could print personalized the print. I learned how to make a perfectly consistent ink palette."  -Steven

" I learned how to draw a frog better."  -Gia

" I learned how to get the right consistency for the paint. I learned depth perception. Two thumbs up!"  -George
