Another Great Field Trip!

Strawberry Students pose in front of their Altar at the Mission Cultural Center for Latino Arts

We had another successful trip to The Mission.  Thanks to all the chaperones for making it great!  It was interesting to see the whole cycle of the exhibit--from setup to the final show.  Students took advantage of their second visit by spending time really looking at each altar, investigating and inventing reasons for how objects fit into overall themes. Thinking of art as representing bigger ideas is ongoing practice.

I’ll post pictures tomorrow.  If you chaperoned and have pictures, please send them to me. 

The Halloween Parade is tomorrow at 11:00am, and you all are invited to watch.  Costume guidelines are in last Friday’s post.  Your child can either bring her/his outfit and change before the paraded or come to school already in costume.  By the way, I already apologize for my costume as I’m allowing students to create one for me...just mentioning this so you know beforehand….  

Homework for tonight is to:
1.  Read for 30 minutes and fill out the Question Reading Log
2.  Spelling

Have a good night!
