Kindergarten Pinch Pots

It's June

Our giraffe left the Art Room to attend the school Talent Show, which raised 
money for Boots On the Ground, a nonprofit organization, that helps support 
families whose lives were devastated after Super Storm Sandy.

 

A rainy Field Day led to creative, indoor, full-body fun.

Bug Study

By Ila D., Andrew C.  

Mrs. Tepper's 1st grade class made this bug jar. It is beautiful, don’t you think? We made the jar because we learned so much about insects. A bug is an insect when it has six legs, three body parts and two antennae. You can draw a bug with shapes like a circle for the head and a square for the body. Never give up, you can try to draw an insect or bug every day. Put your best effort into it!
