Second Quarter

Students created Chinese brushwork paintings this past week and finished them off with calligraphy stamps and red chops. A few of these will go to Kickapoo High School to be on display in their new lobby for the French Club special display in recognition of the importance of learning a second language.

Field Trip....
Permisson forms will be sent home soon for the field trip to Springfield Little Theatre to view the production of "Babes in Toyland". We will do a quick theatre arts study before we view the show and record various responses to the production after the viewing. Cost will be $7-$8 per student to cover the cost of the ticket and transportation.

Extra Credit Opportunities:
PTSA Reflections contest, CASA card contest, SPS budget book....information on the classroom door.
Viewing/response sheets to any area fall high school musical. Options include:
Central-Once on this Island
Glendale-Putnam County Spelling Bee
Parkview-Grease
Kickapoo-Into the Woods
Willard-Children of Eden

New Projects this coming week
All classes will be starting ceramics. Please bring a small towel to cover clay for storage. We will limit our projects to single items and keep them compact. It is up in the air as to the firing situation for our projects. I may have to wait until moving into the new school or fire at Central High. We will wait it out and see. Thanks for your patience.
Grade seven will start with sketches on Monday. Grade six will start with demos and organizing equipment and storage.
