SUMMER PROGRAMMING REPORTS AND PICTURES BREAKFAST ON MONDAY It was crazy hat and hair day for this spirit week.

Children used this experience to write about and draw their plants.  It was amazing to see that while all the beans germinated, a few grew much more rapidly than others. The children hope to see their plants grow to full size in the outdoor classroom by mid-September. Beans before distribution Beans placed in bags with moist towels Beans hung on the window to stimulate germination. Describing the plants and drawing them Working on writing based on an understanding of sounds and letters - all children. Seeds being planted in the outdoor garden. A few of the plants prior to watering VISIT BY ENTERTAINING BOOK ILLUSTRATOR Children's author and illustrator, Amy Huntington, met 1st-8th-grade summer school students to explain her work, ignite their interest in drawing and to hand out free books. The students were intrigued by her funny and beautifully done drawings and paintings. They especially loved providing her with directions for creating on-the-spot illustrations monsters.  Here is an interesting fact. Ms. Huntington is the mother of our one of our art teachers, Mrs. Tagliamonte, and she also painted one of the most amazing illustrated chairs that can be found in our library.
