Making Pies!

We used the pumpkins we harvested from our garden to make pies.
The seeds we collected were roasted for our healthy snack.

Four lucky visitors won a pie at our Harvest Meal!

Outdoor Sculptures at the Hood Museum

     It was a wet and soggy day but our spirits were high as we explored three outdoor sculptures on the Dartmouth campus.  Your children enjoyed the interactive nature of each sculpture. Thanks to the chaperones who joined us. 

Discovering different shapes and materials make sculptures.

We used our bodies to add shapes to the Hexagonal sculpture.

Working as a group to make the platform move wasn't always easy!

Back in the studio we used a variety of materials to make our own sculptures.

Upcoming Field Trip -- Hood Museum

On our second Art Start visit; we will be looking at outdoor sculptures on the Dartmouth campus.  The permission slip for this trip went home on Thursday.  Please sign and return by Monday.  As always parents are welcome to join us.  We will be outside for most of the visit please have your child dress warmly.

I hope you were as impressed as I was as to how well your children presented their work and goals at their conference last week.

Planting Tulips

 Each fall second graders take part in an international science experiment as we plant tulip bulbs.  When our tulips emerge and bloom we know that spring has come to our hometown. Please click on the  Journey North Link on this blog to follow our journey!

A BIG thank you to the generous families who purchased books for our classroom library at the Scholastic Book Fair!
