May we see the end of rain?

With May our class has been very busy!

I'd like to thank our Classroom Artist for coming in right at the top of the month. Students are going to get to work with paint and different canvas materials than they are used to, and we'll be celebrating spring, nature and the new season's energy by painting in the style of Georgia O'Keefe!

Our class has a fierce appreciation of nature, and Georgia O'Keefe was monumental in showing the beauty of North American plant life. If your child is in love with art OR nature, please consider the upcoming Georgia O'Keefe retrospective gallery at the Art Gallery of Ontario:

A big thanks to all of our parents that came to the Inquiry Fair! Our students were so PROUD to show off the research and learning that they performed themselves. We saw such creativity and insight, I know it was a lot to take in all at once.

Finally, thanks to all parents who have already submitted permission forms and online-payments to Medieval Times. It's truly a unique experience that the students will always remember, and a very exciting way to bring the social studies curriculum to life. PLEASE SUBMIT FORMS AND PAYMENT ASAP, as numbers will be finalized ahead of time, and late additions will not be possible.
