Picture Lady




We are so excited that the Picture Lady is back! The first grade classes are so fortunate to have Mrs. Severson come visit once a month and share her knowledge of art. This week we learned about the artist Winslow Homer. Mrs. Severson shared a print of his painting, The Gulf Stream. We also learned about different painting mediums and techniques.

Guest Reader


We were very excited to have one of our students from last year come and read to our class. It is always exciting as a teacher to see how our students have grown as readers.
